Burpee

Muscles worked

How to do it

1. Stand with the feet shoulder-width.
2. Squat and place the hands on the floor.
3. Jump or step the feet back to a plank; lower the chest to the floor if you can.
4. Jump or step the feet back under you.
5. Stand and jump, reaching overhead, landing softly.

Common mistakes

• The hips sagging in the plank — brace before the feet land.
• Flopping onto the floor — lower the chest under control.
• Hard landings — bend the knees as you land; step instead of jump to reduce impact.
