…alternating the legs twice per side. Keep the hips flat and keep them from sagging or rotating by keeping the core engaged. Return to the start position of the push-up before completing the burpee.
5. Side-Plank Burpee
Go through the standard first steps all the way through performing a proper, classic push-up. When you get back to the top position, lift one hand and rotate your hips and shoulder into a side plank, raising your top hand to the ceiling so that your body is in a T shape. Make sure to keep your core engaged to prevent the hips from sagging. Rotate back to the push-up position before rotating to the other side. Complete a standard burpee, alternating sides for your plank with each rep.
6. Power Push-Up Burpee
This variation is almost identical to a standard burpee, but instead of coming back to a squat after the push-up, you’ll push yourself up from the floor as explosively as possible, leaving the ground as you simultaneously bring your feet back under your hips. Note: This is a very advanced variation and requires an adequate amount of strength and power to complete. It may not be right for you — yet — but if you want to give it a try, consider elevating your hands to start.
7. Kung Fu Burpee
Yes, the Kung Fu Burpee. This variation you start as a standard burpee but instead of jumping straight up with your hands in the air, you jump up as is you were kicking someone. Then land on both your feet and start all over again. It’s fun and lets your aggression out all at the same time.
