How do I burpee?
Also known as “squat-thrusts” from your high-school PT days. The “official” burpee for CrossFit is explained in the standards video from the ’08 Games. Here’s a description of the burpee: To perform a burpee with a pushup, you will begin in a squat position with hands on the floor in front of you (1). Kick your feet back, while simultaneously lowering yourself into the bottom portion of a pushup. Your arms will not be extended. (2). Immediately return your feet to the squat position, while simultaneously pushing “up” with your arms. You will perform a pushup as you return your feet to the squat position (3). Leap up as high as possible from the squat position (4). Repeat, moving as fast as possible. Also, here are a couple of other articles on the burpee: http://www.geocities.com/rutgerseskrima/art_prison.html http://www.circularstrengthmag.com/17/maxwell2.
