NYC Fitness: How to do a squat thrust correctly

In this video I explain and demonstrate proper technique of the squat thrust, how to work up to multiple repetitions, and the fun progressions which follow once you develop the upper body strength, and cardiovascular endurance.
The squat thrust is a great way to work the core and cardiovascular engine jointly, it's also a great exercise to help firm and tone up the upper body. It is a staple within the body weight section of my site. www.getfitwithr...
Squat thrust is also known as a burpee:
Burpee- An full body-body weight exercise which works the chest, shoulders, arms and lower body but mostly your core & cardiovascular system. Doing burps are a great way to develop both cardiovascular & muscular endurance as well as your ability to exchange gas at a high heart rate. A burpee is a squat and thrust, but with the addition of a push-up. href="www.getfitwithr...
The Burpee Combinations & Variants:
Burpee push up (also called eight-count push up)
The athlete performs a push-up after assuming the plank position.
Knee push-up burpee -
The athlete bends their knees and rests them on the ground before performing the push up.
Jump up Burpee -
The athlete jumps up as high as they can in at the end of the movement and before beginning the next Burpee.
Long-jump burpee -
The athlete jumps forward, not upward.
Tuck-jump burpee -
The athlete pulls their knees to their chest (tucks) at the peak of the jump.
Jump-over burpee -
The athlete jumps over an obstacle between burpees.
Box-jump burpee -
The athlete jumps onto a box, rather than straight up and down.
One-armed burpee -
The athlete uses only one arm for the whole exercise including the pushup.Single Arm Burpee
Dumbbell burpee -
The athlete holds a pair of dumbbells while performing the exercise.
Parkour burpee -
Following one burpee on the ground, the athlete jumps upon a table and performs the second burpee on the table, then jumps back to the initial position.
The newest version of this exercise, which combines the traditional squat thrust with a power exercise called the dumbbell high pull. This duo will blast fat, improve your athletic performance, and light your muscles on fire.
