• Stand straight, and then lower into a squat position with your hands on the floor in front of you.
• Kick your feet back into a push-up position and immediately drop your chest to the floor.
• Return your feet back to the squat position as fast as possible.
• Jump up into the air as high as you can.• Clap overhead in midair
Here are 5 reasons why you should love burpees:
