A burpee is a dynamic movement combining strength training, cardio, plyometrics and flexibility. This powerful exercise engages almost every muscle group in the body, making it an effective way to get stronger and fitter without requiring any equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bowflex\u00ae How-To | Burpees for Beginners\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dZgVxmf6jkA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The basic form of a burpee consists of four steps: start in a standing position, drop down into a squat with your hands on the ground, kick your feet out into a plank position and then return to the starting standing position by bringing your feet back in towards you while jumping up. By performing different variations such as adding push-ups or using medicine balls, you can further challenge yourself and make the exercise more difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Muscles_do_Burpees_Work\"><\/span><strong>What Muscles do Burpees Work?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Burpees are full-body exercises that target multiple muscles. This exercise, which combines pushups, squats, and jumps all in one movement, is a great way to build strength and endurance while engaging several muscle groups at once. The primary muscles that burpees work are the chest, shoulders, triceps, quads, and glutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chest muscles are engaged when you go down into the pushup position and then raise back up again. The shoulder muscles get a workout as you move your arms down and back up while in the pushup position. Your triceps are engaged as you lower yourself down into the pushup stance before pushing up to return to standing. During the squat portion of the burpee, your quads come into play as you bend your knees before jumping into the air during the final step of this multi-movement exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_CrossFit_Burpee_Standard\"><\/span><strong>What is a CrossFit Burpee Standard?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A CrossFit burpee standard is a dynamic and challenging exercise that pushes the boundaries of physical fitness. It is an intense full-body workout that utilizes all major muscle groups, including the arms, shoulders, back, core, legs, and glutes. The most common type of burpee is the Bar Facing Burpee which includes jumping up to a bar before performing a push-up and then jumping back down. This variation challenges athletes to stay composed during their movements as they must maintain their balance while quickly transitioning from one phase to the next<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, it calls for higher levels of athleticism as they must use more force to move upwards and downwards of the bar. It is important that when performing Bar Facing Burpees, athletes keep their feet firmly planted on the ground with their chest pressed against the bar at all times as this will provide them with stability throughout the entire movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>Read more about <a href=\"\/burpee-over-bar\/\">Burpee Over Bar Exercise<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Bar_Facing_Burpees\"><\/span><strong>Benefits of Bar Facing Burpees<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the main benefits of this type of burpee:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Muscle_Building\"><\/span><strong>1.
