The Burpee

The burpee is a mainstay movement in CrossFit used to develop fitness. In certain populations, the burpee (prone to stand) is a critical skill required to safely lower one's body to the ground and stand back up.

I've fallen, and I CAN get up! Great vid.

Working in public service, I know from helping elderly and some young overweight individuals up that this movement is functionally more important than most people know.

And for the unknown, CrossFit isn’t for just the elite and physically sound.

It's good to see Glassman is still able to get out and make tutorials on how to do movements!

people of all ages can enjoy the fun of THE BURPEE.

The point is how a certain section of population can safely perform a burpee. I have an injured leg, and I do a burpee like this.

[shannons]

THIS! Awesome. CrossFit is for any age and any ability.

[Dan-dijd]

I think going from the ground and standing back up is probably the most important ability in your life.

I'm in my mid 40's. Every WOD I do is a middle finger at the nursing home.

At first I thought it was the theme of Interstellar...☄️😆

Can you clarify in the description that this is a modified Burpee?

[yticivam]

If I can do a modified burpee at that age, I'd thank my stars. My knees are already giving up and I'm barely half his age.

He didn't even break a sweat doing this movement 🤔 he must be a pro or he does burpees for breakfast every morning.. Finally Matt frazier has some competition in 2019🤪🤙 💥👊😎👍

[the.nito]

wait wait wait, no jump to burpee. even if it is just the littlest hop.

[acook]

I mean… this is a MODIFIED burpee. Nothing wrong with it, it’s just not the original movement. And it should be labeled as such.

[killroy]

Q: If I don't hike up my socks will I get injured?

[AlexiusS]

im doing this at the gym tomorrow.. and non of my coaches better say anything...
