Burpee, Target Muscles: Gluteus maximus, hamstrings, deltoids and abdominals.
This is a very strenuous movement but it targets several muscles and gets your heart rate up there! No one at our gym enjoys doing burpees. But that tells you they kick your butt! These are also great to incorporate into a body weight workout especially if your on the go or traveling without access to a gym or weights.
Action: Squat down placing your palms on the ground. Quickly jump your feet back, extending your legs into push-up position. Go down into a full pushup chest to floor then back up to plank. Immediately jump your feet back between your hands. Quickly extend your legs and explode into the air, reaching above your head as you leap. Land and then repeat..
