Burpee

Major seed supplier

A burpee is a full-body exercise that combines a squat, plank, and jump into one fluid movement.

Starting from standing, you drop into a squat, kick your feet back into a plank position, return to the squat, then explosively jump upward with arms raised.

Burpees are notorious in fitness circles for being exhausting but effective, appearing frequently in high-intensity interval training and military conditioning programs.

The instructor made us do fifty burpees as a warm-up.
