I find burpees an excellent exercise, but I would advise against them if you are overweight. I would advise you to adjust your diet first before doing burpees.You can find documentation on roidusport.fr

Ouch! I'm not terribly fast at burpees, but I think the runs were the slower of the two today - gotta get back out there and do more. Last 2 rests did not feel like 3 minutes.

Globo wod: If you do not have a large space to run consider subbing 8x shuttle sprints 50 ft, or 4x shuttle runs 100ft. An empty basketball court works well for this. Otherwise use a football field or other straight away outside that's 100m and run down and back. If using a conventional treadmill use a slight incline. Sub 250m row, 12 calories assault or echo bike, or 30-50 double unders as a last resort.


Bodyweight sub: see above.

Do you want to practice falling or not practice falling? There's your answer. Kicking the feet before the hands hit is practicing falling.

Commented on: The Burpee

I've got a question regarding the phase from the plank - lowering the chest to the ground - back to plank. I imagine doing the strict pushup with the spine neutral and not moving is the safest method, however I see ALOT of people coaching the method of doing the burpee as a kind of "wave" from plank to the floor back to plank. Is the "wave" more stressful for the lower back and should coaches teach the safer method? Any evidence or experience? Because alot of people can't to a regular pushup. And confronted with the "strict pushup" burpee, they simply can't do it.

I noticed the same thing, Bengi. I have been coaching and CrossFitting for 10yrs and am unfamiliar with a burpee requiring a rigid body (as in a push-up), and this includes the Open. My guess is that one can improvise the ground portion based on their fitness. I do see folks who are very fit utilize a push-up and seem to have extraordinary efficiency with it, but I, personally, can’t. I have always performed and coached the burpee as 1) get chest and thighs on the ground 2) get back up to your feet 3) get some daylight under your feet. Furthermore, I prefer touching my fingers to a target in the burpee to ensure a reach to the sky during the jump.

Either way, variety is the name of the game, and there’s room for lots of burpee variations. Sometimes we even do “sprawls”, where the body doesn’t go to the ground at all as a burpee variant.

As for avoiding flexion/extension through the burpee for safety, as a general rule, it’s horseshit. Spinal flexion and extension in this manner is fine for a healthy spine.

If you keep your butt and belly squeezed, you're actually practicing a good skill by bowing and flexing. On the other hand, if you want to work on the strength part of it you would want to practice the rigid body position. Check out a video called Skill Transfer of the Burpee - it's with Carl Paoli and it's in the Journal and probably on YouTube also.

I call that method of burpees “worming”. I don’t see a problem with it. Consider it a kipping burpee
