    Benefits of Burpees

    The burpee is the ultimate full body exercise. There’s a reason why football teams, CrossFit practitioners, and elite military forces use the burpee in their workouts. Just one simple movement tests both your strength and aerobic capacities. Below we go into a few more details on the benefits of the burpee:

    Strength. The burpee is a full body, strength training exercise. With each repetition, you’ll work your chest, arms, front deltoids, thighs, hamstrings, and abs. Trust me. Your legs will feel like they’re pumping battery acid after you complete a set of burpees.

    Fat burning. Because you’re using your full body when doing burpees and because they’re such an intense workout, the burpee is one of the best exercises to burn fat. Studies have shown that high intensity exercises, like burpees, burn up to 50% more fat than conventional strength training exercises. They’ve also been shown to speed up your metabolism which helps you burn more calories throughout the day. If you’re looking to get rid of that spare tire, step off the elliptical machine and start doing burpees.

    Conditioning. Many men today spend hours a week in the gym sculpting washboard abs and bowling ball biceps. While those muscles look nice, they don’t do much for you when you have to split a giant pile of wood or even save your own life. Burpees are an effective exercise for developing the conditioning and endurance, the manly vim and vigor to tackle any challenge. They’re also a great exercise to include in football conditioning drills.

    Free. There are no fancy gizmos, classes or gym memberships required to perform a burpee. All you need is your body, a floor, and an iron will.

    Portable. You can do this exercise anywhere. On the road? Bust some out in the hotel room. Don’t have a gym membership? Get your burpee on at the park. In prison? Do them in your cell.

    I like burpees too, and yes, they are effective. Not much more to say about it!

    There are pros & cons to working these groups simultaneously like this vs. focusing on each movement individually.

    Great total body exercise though, even better fitness model.

    I'll stick with isolated muscle groups and free weights.

    For a total workout,,,I still say you need to alternate equally between heaving burpees and rhythmetic shake weights

    Her breasts are much smaller than they used to be (and better) or this is an old video and she's had implants.

    That's the original Bodyrock.tv girl, Zuzanna. I think that's pre-boobjob. Here's one with boobjob:

    She also did some p*rn, according to this story.

    She's been replaced by Lisa-Marie:

    She was replaced or she quit? Because her replacement doesn't look that great...
