Anyone who has been involved in bodyweight training is usually familiar with a burpee. If not, refer to this animation of a traditional burpee. In an effort to blend creativity with high level conditioning, I have successfully used 2 kettlebells to safely raise the intensity of the movement. In fact, the video will explain how you can choose from a variety of burpee variations to fit them to your level of experience. To summarize, the following variations are shown in the video:
Beginner Burpee Variation: Combine a deadlift and a straight arm prone plank. Move quickly between each position.
Intermediate Burpee Variation: Combine a deadlift and a pushup. Move quickly between each position.
Advanced Burpee Variation: Combine an explosive jump and an explosive pushup. Move quickly between each position.
