Types of Burpees

This power-exercise can be made to suit different fitness needs by making small variations. Some of the most commonly performed types if burpees, aside from the regular one, are:

1. Pull up

The pull-up burpee helps in strengthening a person's back and quadriceps. To do this exercise, stand under a pull up bar. Drop your hands down and push your feet back into the push-up position. Now push your feet in front and when you jump, pull the bar to lift your body up. Your chin should reach above the bar. This will mark the completion of one rep.

2. Broad Jump

This variant of the burpee is effective for your quadriceps, hamstring muscles and calves. To do this workout, drop and place your hands on the floor outside your feet while you are in the standing position. Now jump your feet back so you're in the top of a pushup position, then back to between your hands. Powerfully jump forwards as far as you can, swinging your arms by your side for momentum. Land and continue straight into the next rep.

3. Push up

In this simple variant, as you push your legs back into the push-up plank position, also perform the regular pushup by pushing your chest to the floor. Now jump your feet back to between your hands and then jump up, clapping your hands overhead.
