Training for my first Spartan (Super), after virtually being on the couch. This is a game changer, as I've begun with 30 burpees a day. On Day 12 now, and very grateful to have found this video. Avoiding injury is everything! Yours is the gift that keeps on giving. Thank you!
Too bad most exercise videos don't stress proper form and injury prevention. They just list out a bunch if exercises and say do this and that to build this and that. This is a great video.

I made EVERY MISTAKE you showed NOT to do , Thanks VERY Much for clear that up Funk Roberts . I will try them again once my neck heals up. I had my arm full and bent over using my Back not my Legs to pick it up. Sincerely, D. Neal Linville

Okay, I just followed your advice with focussing on the squat position and within the first 80, no more tight back. It's definitely a slower burpee but I can do a lot more and it feels so much better. Thanks again

This has always been something we and my gym buddies debate about all the time - how to do a proper burpee etc... I'm glad I got to learn from you - its safe, and it's clean.
I've never ever did a burpee before in my life! This is truly helpful since I'm just truly beginning to work out for the police academy and know full well they will use these types of exercise to work us out! Thanks

Absolutely amazing! I have wanted to incorporate this exercise in my workout routine for so long! But I heard of so many injuries people incurred! Thank you for this flawless demonstration. Now I feel confident to try them! Awesome job!
The UK’s Radio 1 DJs were doing 3 mins of ‘Burpees’ and then immediately coming back on air. Most amusing radio, as they were completely knackered, and could barely speak. I didn’t know what a ‘burpee’ was, and Mr. Funk has not only explained it, but demonstrated how to do it correctly to avoid common injuries. Nice bit of tuition video. Top marks, Mr. Funk. Matt Lee

My nephew who is a Marine demonstrated this exercise for me a while back. I needed a refresher because I was getting knee pain and suspected I was doing a step incorrectly. Sure enough, I was. Thank you for this. Now I know. This is textbook form. Sub’d.
Best form I’ve seen. A lot of these videos have you bend over to get down and get back up. Completely forgetting that the burpee also includes a squat.

Funk Rob the fact that you talked thru this video, while doing burpees, shows you practice what you preach. When you do burpees for the first time like me, talking is not an option. Thanks! For another great video Funk.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🙂🙂🙂🙂
Thank you! I came here to find out what a burpee was so I could start adding them to my workout routine (only doing cardio currently) and found your video! Super helpful thank you!

Great video. I love the fact that you demonstrate the burpee without the need to do a jump. It's okay to not jump - jumping adds stress to the joints - and for people like myself with rheumatic issues, it heightens the risk of injury. I can do these without the jumps and it works great.
only one problem, jumping is the biggest part of the burpee. Burpees without jumping is just standing up between push ups. I had rheumatism, especially in the knees, but since I started running (3k /day) doing squats and jumping burpees, no more knee pain. Every one is different.

I'm glad you showed the basic burpee .most vids include the push up and hop at the end as the full burpee ,which is not necessary to do the actual burpee..those are added movement. Thanks
Thanks, I think I was doing them wrong because my legs weren't spread apart enough, so I was rolling forward which hurt my wrists when I tried to do them quickly. Cheers.
I've did a few incorrectly and I could tell something was off and sure enough I did them as you stated and now there is so much less fatigue on my body and I'm able to do more than I thought possible.
I also have to add that I HATE Crossfit style burpees. They lean over, immediately drop their chest to the ground with hips touching the floor, and then "bow and snake" up. When I do 10 sets of 10 for 100 burpees, my legs and upper body are on FIRE. I do a squat, kick back into a full push-up position, and do an actual push-up on every rep. Just like I don't do "kip-up" pull-ups either. But when I do 100 actual burpes in 13-15 minutes I feel more beat down than with 45-60 minute full body high intensity workouts. Crazy!
Burpees are actually a variation of an 8-Count Body Builder, which requires a full push-up as you are doing. That snake crap is what I've never understood.
Ryan Deffley doesn't it hurt your shoulders and back when touching the floor during the push up part?! I see a lot of people doing it and always thought it was the wrong way to do a burpee.
This so much. Correct form is way harder and taxing to the body. I always marveled at how some people could do 50 in 3 minutes or some crap like that. Turns out they are doing it incorrectly. Greetings!
For those of you that do CrossFit, please ensure you focus on form over speed. I’ve been doing CrossFit for many years and during AMRAPS, I find people more often than not go as fast as possible with garbage form. Your coaches should be intervening but those of you that do it at home,...proper technique is crucial!!!! Thanks for the video my friend.
Hello great support I just want to add that I have a UA-cam channel as well I would love to get your feedback on any of my videos if do you like subscribe share and comment I hope to hear from you if not I understand regardless have a beautiful day✌️❤️🙏🏼
I love how personal trainers always find a way to throw in anatomical terms into discussions of basic movements. Can’t just say the shoulder, gotta get technical and make it about the supraspintus.
Very helpful video and I echo what a lot of people comment below. A lot of times the trainer doesn’t inform us of how to prevent us from getting injuries. We simply follow what they do and end up hurting ourselves without knowing why.
Wtf do almost a thousand people have in their minds not liking this!? It's amazing advice, free from a trained professional. What is wrong with people today????

Thank you for this! At my box I asked for a breakdown of how to do burpees with better form because I was having a lot of back and knee pain. The coach laughed and said "just do the movement and ot will be ok. Eventually something else will hurt and your back won't bother you anymore". I don't train there anymore but unfortunately I don't train anywhere now. I'm gonna start working at home and get back into shape
Thanks for showing proper technique. I first saw your video about a year ago. Now I do burpees like nobody's business. It's imbedded in my workout routine. Thnx again.
Great breakdown!!! Did CrossFit for just 4 months and ended up with busted knees and shoulders. It was all about the numbers on the whiteboard and nothing about injury prevention.
Hello Charlie, Just starting! I'm going to follow this fitness challenge. 20 . pushups, 20 burpees, 20 crunches & 20 squats for five days. Then the next week increase by 10 and every week thereafter till you reach 100.
Tanya Francis That sounds like a great fitness challenge. I think you will get great benefit from your workout. With a burpee you get all the benefit of pushups, crunches and squats plus cardio in one movement. So if you don't feel like a big work out you can just burpee. Thats why I love this exercise.
Charlie Roddenby apparently you're right. now keeping up with 100 burpees 100 squats routine since I don't have much time going to gym and stuff. glad that just doing burpees can actually keep your body fit. you convinced me now! :)
This was a really clear demonstration. Thankyou. Also shows how tough burpees are when the guy demonstrating, who is clearly super fit and presumably does them a lot is getting out of breath just trying to talk while doing them.
Thank you for helping me get the burpees going. This technique works great for me. I am not as young as I used to be-getting older, heavier, all that-so getting the effective intensity of activity without overuse injuries has been a real problem. Wearing wrist wraps and workout gloves to protect my hands and wrists, I modified the burpee to exclude the jump because I pulled a muscle in my inner thigh the first set, but I didn't give up. Working around that I am definitely seeing results. the perfect intensity to tone muscles, get the heart pounding, open the airways and burn fat. I was able to do 30 burpees every day the second week. I doubled the burpees by doing the laddering routine with brief rest intervals 1 rep, 2 reps, 3 reps, etc., up the ladder, then decreasing the number of reps going down the ladder. I'm not sure my math is very good, but it is a great workout! The burpees don't require expensive equipment or much room. Thanks again, Mr.Roberts for helping me succeed on my personal health and fitness crusade.
Been watching videos for over 1 year, trying to stir myself to do burpees. I hate being on the floor. Yours is the first one that made me feel comfortable. I’m ready to do it now!
I am no where near this level yet (just beginning and am all soft and sad), but I just wanted to say that I love this breakdown with a focus on safety, using actual musculoskeletal jargon, and not making me, the viewer, feel like a total 'tard. Watching this, you make me feel like I can almost do this...some day! Very professional and kind!
Thank you!!!! You broken down instruction video showed me that I’ve been doing them wrong and that’s why they hurt my knees. With my legs on the outside and my hands inside, I can do them and it doesn’t hurt! Thank you!!!!
Thank you, it helps me to have an exercise broken down into to parts like this. To see where I need improvement is key for growth. I read a quote yesterday that said “exercise is a celebration for what the body is capable of not something you do because u ate too much” ⬆️Anonymous

Very informative with very clear instructions, as someone with back issues at a relatively young age I appreciate videos where they show you what to avoid. Keep up the good work.
you can always rest your knee on the ground and keep your upper body in a neutral position until you build enough strength in upper body and core. then you can make the legs straight.
Actually you don't need to be able to do a full push up properly to be able to enjoy the benefits of the burpee. You can worm or peel yourself off the ground with enough momentum to bring your feet under you
Awesome. It is very discouraging for a middle aged person trying to get back in shape when they keep injuring themselves and the pain makes sitting down to focus on work and school difficult. I now feel I can get after it while being less likely to injure myself. Thanks!
Thank you for breaking this down. Today is my first doing doing burpees in my entire life and the first time I did it, I already know I messed. This vid is very helpful. THANK YOU!
Core strength is so important as well. I have back problems two herniated disks so without core I couldn’t do this. Thank you for sharing. This was so helpful
Thank you for this awesome video! I'm all about proper form and I wasn't sure what the proper form was for a burpee. I also found some videos on UA-cam showing form that didn't look right. What you are showing looks right and makes sense. This is the best video on UA-cam on how to properly perform a burpee!
Thank's a lot! This is very informative especially for begginers the real old school Burpee here. Fck modern versions they'll get you injured with those nasty forms! Proper squat, Push ups, and Hip thrust 👌
asCYprInus A3girMr yeah I was always told not to do the jump and put that energy towards more burpees. I cant do the jump in my upstairs apt anyways. I dont think it makes much of a difference.

Thanks a ton Sir..I had a shoulder injury due to incorrect way of doing a burpee but seeing this I am now looking forward to doing it correctly..thank you again
i just watched like 5 different videos on burpees and this 1 by far has the best info. I was actually doing them wrong the way he talks about getting shoulder injuries.. so thats going to help me in my next session thank you!
Iron Wolf does his burpees in a different way that I can't seem to do without hurting my lower back so I do that squat at the beginning like you said in this vid, and now i have confirmation it's good tech!
I watch Iron Wolf too, but I still do my burpee this way (squat-pump-jump). One thing I've incorporated from him though is his 6 count which helps with cadence and breathing.
@@talemire258 yeh I count too, weirdly meditative when you do the counting and I agree it helps with breathing. Amazing what doing regular burpees can do...love them now haha.
Thank you for showing us the correct procedures. I was doing everything incorrectly. I am starting the 50 burpees per day challenge for 30 days and want to be certain I am doing it properly. I will try to report in 1 month how I did. Thanks again.
Excellent, good going! Keeping the arms close instead of having elbows pointed outwards is a challenge for beginners, which is why it's a good idea to practice slowly when doing burpees for the first time. Thanks, very helpful!
Good tips... they'll help me correct my burpee form. Appreciate the time you took to do this vid. One suggestion: use a lapel mic with a windscreen when recording outdoors. The lapel mic will keep your voice volume consistent as you move closer or farther from your camera, and the windscreen will prevent having the wind gusts overpower your voice.
Thank you so much for your clear explanation. I used to do push-ups with my elbows flared out. Since I have to do 100 burpees per day during Christmas break (homework from our Krav Maga instructor) I am using the opportunity to finally get good triceps. Have a great 2020!
Thank you I needed to know how to do it properly so I don't hurt myself, other ones I've seen just don't quite show it the way you did, not to mention your far better looking than some of the others I've seen demonstrate. Thanks.
Thank you for saving our backs, shoulders and knees.
And toes. Knees and toes...

Should I first complete my pushup and then stand or I can try standing while I'm coming up from a pushup?

Just starting! I'm going to follow this fitness challenge. 20 . pushups, 20 burpees, 20 crunches & 20 squats for five days. Then the next week increase by 10 and every week thereafter till you reach 100.
Tanya Francis That sounds like a great fitness challenge. I think you will get great benefit from your workout. With a burpee you get all the benefit of pushups, crunches and squats plus cardio in one movement. So if you don't feel like a big work out you can just burpee. Thats why I love this exercise.
Charlie Roddenby apparently you're right. now keeping up with 100 burpees 100 squats routine since I don't have much time going to gym and stuff. glad that just doing burpees can actually keep your body fit. you convinced me now! :)
Best explanation I've seen... you explain & show the "WHY" of the exercise. Thanks! 😊
Thanks man! You saved the day for me on this one! Big ups on form and technique!
This was a really clear demonstration. Thankyou. Also shows how tough burpees are when the guy demonstrating, who is clearly super fit and presumably does them a lot is getting out of breath just trying to talk while doing them.
This will help me for when I teach my HIIT class tomorrow. Thank you!
Thank you for helping me get the burpees going. This technique works great for me. I am not as young as I used to be-getting older, heavier, all that-so getting the effective intensity of activity without overuse injuries has been a real problem. Wearing wrist wraps and workout gloves to protect my hands and wrists, I modified the burpee to exclude the jump because I pulled a muscle in my inner thigh the first set, but I didn't give up. Working around that I am definitely seeing results. the perfect intensity to tone muscles, get the heart pounding, open the airways and burn fat. I was able to do 30 burpees every day the second week. I doubled the burpees by doing the laddering routine with brief rest intervals 1 rep, 2 reps, 3 reps, etc., up the ladder, then decreasing the number of reps going down the ladder. I'm not sure my math is very good, but it is a great workout! The burpees don't require expensive equipment or much room. Thanks again, Mr.Roberts for helping me succeed on my personal health and fitness crusade.
Robert, THANK YOU! 🙏🏼
It was so hard for me. YOU helped me!
Been watching videos for over 1 year, trying to stir myself to do burpees. I hate being on the floor. Yours is the first one that made me feel comfortable. I’m ready to do it now!
I am no where near this level yet (just beginning and am all soft and sad), but I just wanted to say that I love this breakdown with a focus on safety, using actual musculoskeletal jargon, and not making me, the viewer, feel like a total 'tard. Watching this, you make me feel like I can almost do this...some day! Very professional and kind!
I know this is 5 years but you can do it at anytime there's no such thing as faliure there's always a try again
Id smash
No wonder why my knee was bleeding yesterday. Thank you!!!!! For your work in this video.
thanks for the great tip - I'm trying to work on my form!
Thank you!!!! You broken down instruction video showed me that I’ve been doing them wrong and that’s why they hurt my knees. With my legs on the outside and my hands inside, I can do them and it doesn’t hurt! Thank you!!!!
Thank you, it helps me to have an exercise broken down into to parts like this. To see where I need improvement is key for growth. I read a quote yesterday that said “exercise is a celebration for what the body is capable of not something you do because u ate too much”

Hello great support I just want to add that I have a UA-cam channel as well I would love to get your feedback on any of my videos if do you like subscribe share and comment I hope to hear from you if not I understand regardless have a beautiful day✌️❤️🙏🏼
Very informative with very clear instructions, as someone with back issues at a relatively young age I appreciate videos where they show you what to avoid. Keep up the good work.
I love to do burpees, but I'm not able to do a push up properly :(.
you can always rest your knee on the ground and keep your upper body in a neutral position until you build enough strength in upper body and core. then you can make the legs straight.
Actually you don't need to be able to do a full push up properly to be able to enjoy the benefits of the burpee. You can worm or peel yourself off the ground with enough momentum to bring your feet under you
An actual burpee is without the pushup. The push up added is a burpee vatiation.
I believe that what you're describing, a burpee without the pushup, is commonly called a squat thrust.
Do them separately. The burpee doesn't have to include the push up or hop
Awesome. It is very discouraging for a middle aged person trying to get back in shape when they keep injuring themselves and the pain makes sitting down to focus on work and school difficult. I now feel I can get after it while being less likely to injure myself. Thanks!
hardest ish in the world for me smh, I'm gassed fast
Thank you for breaking this down. Today is my first doing doing burpees in my entire life and the first time I did it, I already know I messed. This vid is very helpful. THANK YOU!
Excellent demo! Nice.
Thank you. Thumbs way up!
Is that one of the twin towers of OSU---
Lincoln or Morrill in the background??? Anyway, great exercise video!! ~~~JP
Core strength is so important as well. I have back problems two herniated disks so without core I couldn’t do this. Thank you for sharing. This was so helpful
good technics dude... thanks
dogecoin digger thanks so much
Thank you for emphasizing hands between the knees. I needed that!
Should have watched this sooner my shoulder is killing me 😣
Thank you for this awesome video! I'm all about proper form and I wasn't sure what the proper form was for a burpee. I also found some videos on UA-cam showing form that didn't look right. What you are showing looks right and makes sense. This is the best video on UA-cam on how to properly perform a burpee!
Thank's a lot! This is very informative especially for begginers the real old school Burpee here. Fck modern versions they'll get you injured with those nasty forms! Proper squat, Push ups, and Hip thrust 👌
asCYprInus A3girMr yeah I was always told not to do the jump and put that energy towards more burpees. I cant do the jump in my upstairs apt anyways. I dont think it makes much of a difference.
I thought I was doing my burpees wrong been doing the right the whole time :)
Dear me. Now I know why always end up hurting after several set of burpees. Thank you, Mr. Roberts. Now I know the correct way to do it.
dang i can't do pushups for so many reps with them tucked in, gotta train it :(
dkimmortal me too, gotta practice more
You can have them at a 45 degree angle just not completely flared out.
Thanks for the tips brotha. I had a pt and he didn't even specifically tell me the ways to avoid injuries
I appreciate it man!
whoever gets up from a burpee using your knees...need help
Hello great support I just want to add that I have a UA-cam channel as well I would love to get your feedback on any of my videos if do you like subscribe share and comment I hope to hear from you if not I understand regardless have a beautiful day✌️❤️🙏🏼
You had me at protecting your joints! Very underrated video! I love the content!

Definitely adding this to my quarantine routine
you're beautiful
Lol wut?!
eteviseleiato ....?? .
Thanks a ton Sir..I had a shoulder injury due to incorrect way of doing a burpee but seeing this I am now looking forward to doing it correctly..thank you again
i just watched like 5 different videos on burpees and this 1 by far has the best info. I was actually doing them wrong the way he talks about getting shoulder injuries.. so thats going to help me in my next session thank you!
Iron Wolf does his burpees in a different way that I can't seem to do without hurting my lower back so I do that squat at the beginning like you said in this vid, and now i have confirmation it's good tech!
I watch Iron Wolf too, but I still do my burpee this way (squat-pump-jump). One thing I've incorporated from him though is his 6 count which helps with cadence and breathing.
@@talemire258 yeh I count too, weirdly meditative when you do the counting and I agree it helps with breathing. Amazing what doing regular burpees can do...love them now haha.
Thank you for showing us the correct procedures. I was doing everything incorrectly. I am starting the 50 burpees per day challenge for 30 days and want to be certain I am doing it properly. I will try to report in 1 month how I did. Thanks again.
Excellent, good going! Keeping the arms close instead of having elbows pointed outwards is a challenge for beginners, which is why it's a good idea to practice slowly when doing burpees for the first time. Thanks, very helpful!
You can do a burpee without the push up if you want to .. Great explanation of the full Burpees technique
Thank you Sir! Now I know where my sore lower back is coming from. Appreciated!
Glad to have seen this . Lately been having lower back issues and shoulder issues after doing burpees . Now i see why . Thanks
Good tips... they'll help me correct my burpee form. Appreciate the time you took to do this vid. One suggestion: use a lapel mic with a windscreen when recording outdoors. The lapel mic will keep your voice volume consistent as you move closer or farther from your camera, and the windscreen will prevent having the wind gusts overpower your voice.
Thank you immensely Funk Roberts; You just solve my aching lower back problem.
Thank you so much for your clear explanation. I used to do push-ups with my elbows flared out. Since I have to do 100 burpees per day during Christmas break (homework from our Krav Maga instructor) I am using the opportunity to finally get good triceps. Have a great 2020!
Thank you I needed to know how to do it properly so I don't hurt myself, other ones I've seen just don't quite show it the way you did, not to mention your far better looking than some of the others I've seen demonstrate. Thanks.
