Burpee


So both Abbs and I get lots of questions about exactly what we do in training. Well, here's a quick slideshow of a favorite of all the trainers we work with -- the burpee. You start as Abbs is in the photo above in a squat over a medicine ball.
Then you "burp" out by jumping your legs backward.


Most trainers add a push up while you're in this, oh-so-perfect push up position...


Then you "burp" back in...


And come to standing with the medicine ball...


Lift the ball over your head...


And smile coyly over your shoulder at the camera...



We have done what feels like a zillion of these already and we have three more months to go. They really get your heart rate up so we start most training sessions with them. Now you can start yours with them, too.

Fun, huh?
