Are Burpees for Everyone?

Check out this guest post and video by Shawna K ..plus a sample Burpee Challenge + modifications

 

Your clients may hear the word ‘burpee’ and want to turn tail and run. The fact is you may need to ‘sell’ the burpee to your clients. After all, we know that short intense workouts are the most effective for fat burning. Adding the burpee to workouts really increases intensity for your clients, they’ll get results faster and you’ll be the hero.

 

A great way to do make the burpee ‘sale’ is to make them ‘doable’. Sometimes burpees are just too difficult for clients. They don’t feel successful and they get overwhelmed. Some get dizzy and nauseous by changing levels from upright to high plank.  

 

The burpee is still the BEST exercise for ALL your clients because you can modify it. By doing a full body extension for starters or when clients get tired this eliminates the change in level which is really helpful for those that experience nausea or dizziness. The burpee walk out is a great alternative too because it slows down the burpee and introduces the plank position.

 

Then there are those clients that will eat up everything you throw at them and you need to increase intensity for these clients. Of course there are ways to increase intensity for the already challenging burpee too. You can really challenge clients with mountain climber burpees, double jump burpees, sit out burpees, frogger burpees, long jump burpees…so many great burpee options to challenge your clients.

 

Here’s a sample workout for you to try with your clients. Do 30 seconds of work with a 5 to 10 second rest in between each exercise. Do this entire set 3 to 5 times:

 

  • frogger burpee
  • prisoner reverse lunge
  • inchworm push up
  • double jump burped
  • plank with alternate leg lift

 

Feel free to provide a 30 second break in between sets if necessary, maintaining great form for each exercise is your number one priority to keep your clients safe.
