There’s a 95% chance you’re falling into one of these categories.

You’re about to fix that. But first…

Let’s first see what Martin Gibala, the chairman of the department of kinesiology at McMaster University in Hamilton Ontario says about the burpee…

“It builds muscles. It builds endurance.”

Enough said, right? Needless to say, when asked his opinion on the single best exercise, he also suggested the burpee.

So why do they work so well?… and won’t you burn out doing just burpees?

Let’s look at the first part – why they do get you such fast results.

Because you’re moving so quickly and getting up and down, you’re performing high intensity interval training (also known as HIIT). With the push-up and jump squat, you’re incorporating muscular strength training and muscular endurance.

It’s a 3 for 1 exercise that only takes 3 seconds to perform.
