Burpees feel like hell when your coach makes you do them especially at the end of a practice session oh my God

I've always wondered, is it mandatory for your hands to touch above your head?

I got this as lockdown PE. Our teacher made us do 50 for the class For. 3. WEEKS.

As I saw a guy in the gym doing this exercise and fall down after it (he could barely breathe) I was wondering ... Then I joined and after 15 to 20 reps I was like "The fack is this shit ?!" :D Set your legs on fire :D

Should i jump my high when doing burpees?

[stalekale]

Why are burpees even a thing?

Man 1: *goes to do a push-up but cant, * *jumps instead*
Man 2: WOAH, THAT WAS AWESOME

[Vasper]

I have a love-hate relationship with the burpee!!

[bj-loganwebb]

Jazzy music, I'm going to assign this to my gym students so they can suffer the pain

[Cannonbo]

i see lot of variation in the jump. some people clap behind the head, some don't get the torso upright all the way etc. where is the limit for a no-rep? obviously the feet have to lift off but do the hand need to be in contact?

[hhholsteiners]

Why was the squat thrust renamed the burpee?

[ManLikeEddy]

is it bad that only my arms are sore after this?

[Takanayagi]

Burpee, my old nemesis, we meet again...

Do your thighs have to touch in a competition?

[svroland]

When I was in junior high and high school in the late 70's, these where called squat thrusts.

Serious calorie burner if done correctly.
