About Burpees

Burpees are a compound bodyweight exercise combining a squat, plank, push-up, and jump into one continuous movement. A 155-pound person burns approximately 295.3 calories in 30 minutes, making burpees one of the most calorie-efficient exercises available. They require no equipment and can be performed anywhere.

Burpees develop full-body strength and cardiovascular endurance simultaneously. They are a staple of HIIT workouts, military fitness training, and CrossFit. Beginners can reduce intensity by stepping out to the plank position rather than jumping.
