The BEST Total Body Exercise

So, out of all the exercises that are out there we all want to know which one is “The Best Total Body Work Out.” One that is efficient, portable and something that you can do anywhere and that will work everything. In one word that exercise would be called: THE BURPEE. Now, for those of you that don’t know about the Burpee, we have added a picture to show you  what it looks like so that you can see just how amazing this exercise is, but also, it works almost EVERY muscle in the body! That is pretty awesome considering just how many muscles there are in the human body.

It will work your legs, arms, core, and get cardio too! What more could you ask for? It will build you strength and will have you burning a bunch of calories too help you lose weight. Adding this into your workout routine will also help make things more challenging to help you progress to the next level or even just spice things up a bit.

How do you do a Burpee, you ask? Well, take a look at this image below to see how.

The person shown here is hopping into a push up position and hopping their feet forward and then does a jump when she comes up. You can vary the difficulty of this move by adding a push up or having your stomach touch the floor and then press yourself up to come up. For first timers or beginning level exercisers, doing the hop into the push up position would be best till you get used to it. It will be more than enough to make it challenging and difficult. Now, we challenge all of you to try and do just 10-20 of these little guys in your workout or just try it out at home.  They don’t take up much space at all. So there is NO reason not to do them! Before you know it, you will have a love/hate relationship with them and you will be amazed at how they work everything in your body.   Just be sure, like with any other form of exercise that you stretch out after you are done.
