Burpee conditioning workout, this evening I ran to the football pitch placed my hoody and water bottle approximately 15 meters apart and after a quick warm up, I started by doing one burpee by my hoody then walking the 15 meters to my water bottle and doing 2 burpees and so on up to and including 21 burpees for a total of 231 burpees.
This burpee conditioning workout will quickly convince you that your own natural bodyweight provides plenty of resistance for an ass-kicking workout that blasts your stamina and fat loss through the roof.
The burpee is performed in four steps:
* From a standing position, squat down and place your hands on the floor.
* Kick your feet back, while simultaneously lowering yourself into the bottom portion of a pushup. Your arms will not be extended.
* 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.
* Leap up as high as possible from the squat position. Repeat, moving as fast as possible.
This is the ONLY way that I perform Burpees.

This sounds a fantastic workout – I am going to do this tomorrow as my workout.
When attempting an exclusive burpee workout, make sure you have a sufficient warm up and that your water bottle is close at hand.
I have a love-hate relationship with burpees. Love because of the results they provide in terms of fat loss, muscle building, and conditioning. How could you not hate an exercise that will have you sucking wind faster than your lungs can take in? It brings a smile to my face to see just how humbling burpees are.
