Burpees - complete body workout

I think I first heard about Burpees just a few months back and I love them, the exercise engages a lot of different muscle groups and just like the other at home exercises you have a number of variation to a burpee

(use the links if for images to each)

Normal Burpee

1. start in standing position 
2. squat and touch your hands to the floor in front
3. go into push up position
4. back to squat position
5. jump with your hands above your head

Easy Burpee -
To make your Burpee easier just avoid the last jump


Variations to the jump -
You can make you Burpees a bit more fun and difficult by changing your jumps
1. tuck jump Burpee
2. jump  over a step burpee
3. long jump burpee (jump in front instead of up)

Push up and Pull up
Want to make it more difficult? add both a push up and a pull up (combine this with your jump) to your Burpee.


Add weights -
No exercise can be complete without adding weights :)
1.Hold dumbells in you arms when your are doing your regular Burpee
2.You can also use the heavy medicinal balls



As usual before you start with your Burpees please warm up. Do you have a Burpee challenge in your workout plan?

I would  like to point out I'm no fitness expert these are things I learnt along the way of my weight loss journey by surfing the internet and going for fitness classes.
