The Best Bodyweight Exercise (Everyone Hates)
It’s full-body…
Core intensive
Improves your mobility and mind body connection so you can react quickly and easily…
And it can be done without any equipment even at home to improve your conditioning even when you’re short on time…
Unpopular opinion…I think Burpees are underrated.
You may be like, “WHAAAAT!? I see burpees in everything. They’re overdone!”
And while I agree they can be overused, misused and simply put in a workout just to make it harder…
I also think they aren’t given their due credit for being more than just a hard move, but an amazing full-body cardio move to improve your mind-body connection and functional fitness.
Burpees are an exercise that too often don’t get enough respect for being a move that has to be EARNED, but that can, and should, also be done in some form at EVERY age.
Yup…EVERY age…
That’s why in this video I want to explain WHY burpees can be so valuable to do even as we get older, but also why this move can be such a challenge and how we can break it down and modify it to fit our needs and goals!
And if you’re right now shaking your head saying, “NOPE! Burpees aren’t for me!”
I’d urge you to hear me out on WHY they can be so beneficial and then check out the modifications I share!

I watched the cross fit 24.1 and decided that my goal is to stop avoiding Burpees. I walk around the mat psyching myself up mentally. Then jumping jacks. Then literally force myself to begin. I’m up to 40 per day doing 4 rounds of 10 reps. 1/2 way through endorphins or dopamine kicks in and I almost start smiling.!!

it is so apparent yet not that often talked about the importance of establishing the mind-body connection (not that I have any data to non-subjetively say this). but so often fitness videos throw around numbers, be it sets, time, volume what have you, many of which are by themselves disheartening if you start out and you achieve nothing / none of these leading you to quit before long if not immediatedly. The in-depth variation guide to explore the personal possibilities and limits is much more motivating than a lot of other guides! Not that by itself will get you moving, but it is so much more uplifting

@redefiningstrengthOC 2 ай бұрын

That mind-body connection is so key. And modifications aren't really about making a move easier...they are about meeting us where we are at based on our needs, goals and movement patterns. I find often if we modify correctly even to help ourselves build up and fix improper movement or recruitment patterns, the move even feels harder because we are better able to implement it before it gets easier!

Depends on the injuries you have and where your imbalances or mobility restrictions are. The key is regressing and modifying this move as you address those things to work around your aches and pains. A high bench and step back may be a good place to start! And honestly it is less about strengthening your hips but the mobility and even with your lower back strengthening your ABS to protect it :-)

So that may be based on your build. I have clients that have to go out wide based on squat stance and those that go narrow, again similar to comfortable squat stance.

So if you are doing lots of stretching and yoga, make sure not to ignore stability and activation work too as often instability can lead to a lack of mobility as our body doesn't "trust" so to speak that i can move through a full range of motion. Also address your ankle mobility and core stability if you're working a ton on your hips and not seeing progress! Just food for thought as you continue your work!

Coming back from catastrophic injuries (many broken bones including hands & wrists) but know that burpees was one of my best conditioning move & want to get back there. Slow and easy and work up, I get that, but How to deal with hands that will never go flat or be able to grip well again?

The forearm plank option off the box I showed here is a great start. You can lower that incline as you feel ready but you can technically go as low as you want. You can also get wedges that are often used used for heel raised stuff but you can put your hands on them to reduce extension demands which can help. And weight vests are a great investment to add loads for lower body stuff. Even wrist weights can be used for pressing type movements and rowing exercises...always a way to work around!

@redefiningstrengthOC 2 ай бұрын

Modifying off an incline to work on that jump into plank could even help you focus on that ab bracing. And make sure to do that exhale to brace. It sounds like with the jump out you lose a bit of core tension which makes you load your back as well. Could be good to film yourself from the side to see that core tension. And trying the sliders could be a fun option for you too!

LOL I have had dreams lately (yes, during my sleep), that I am able to do graceful and successful burpees. (This is a move I have never be successful at doing, or even stepping into and out of for more than a few times. I even have challenges doing the yoga move of stepping my feet up to my hands from downward dog. I thought it could be because I have body mechanics associated with shorter torso?) Thank you for breaking it down with modifications! I have been wanting to add this movement into my daily activity, but I wasn't sure how to begin. Thank you!!!

As a person with a short torso and long legs, I can tell you that it is possible. :-) You may find jumping out toward the outside of your hands though helps as you may also have a wider squat stance! Glad the tips help!

@@redefiningstrengthOCThat makes total sense, as I do like taking a wide stance when I do squats! Thank you sooooo much!

p.s. I did a set with modifications today using a "step" for elevation for my upper body, and I skipped the jump at the end. My squat stance felt just right. Now I have a baseline to start from, and I can add small goals! THANK YOU!

Cori - I find that when I do these, my hip-flexors tire out the fastest and it hurts a lot within a couple of days. Am I doing it wrong if my hip flexors are getting slammed? Also, as a great man once said, "buck furpees!!!"

@redefiningstrengthOC 2 ай бұрын

I'd film yourself to see where your mobility restrictions are or even if you're losing core tension in the plank which could be overloading your hip flexors. Also focus on pushing off the ground more with your hands to pull your feet in with your abs over just relying on your hip flexors. Regress to progress!

Glad I'm not the only one that's not a fan of burpes.

I have scare tissue from an ankle injury, which variation es possible? I cant run, jump and do squats

@redefiningstrengthOC 2 ай бұрын

So it would depend. I've had a variety of ankle sprains and actually have worked through a lot of scar tissue to build back up. But I would recommend you consider the slider option for burpees potentially and even bench options for squats. Hope you're seeing someone to see how much mobility you can get back depending on your previous ankle injuries!

Can these replace weights, or do in between, or in addition?

@redefiningstrengthOC Ай бұрын

I would use burpees in a more cardio focused workout. But how you design your weekly schedule and what moves you include depends on your needs and goals. I may even use a SIT finisher with burpees after a weights session.
