 7 Irrefutable Reasons Why You Should Start Doing Burpees Today 

A lot of people are looking for ways to get healthier. The thing is that people have been getting healthier, and exercising for basically all of human existence. Why try to reinvent the wheel? People try different fad diets, they buy expensive exercise equipment. The truth of the matter is that you don’t need to invest in any of that stuff, you just need to know how the body works. In this article, I’m going to talk to you guys about how one of the simplest exercises that you can do, is the most effective

What are burpees

You might’ve not heard about this exercise. It’s mostly popular among calisthenics athletes and army soldiers. One of the reasons why is because you don’t need any equipment to exercise. All it is is a simple push-up and a jumping motion. A lot of people don’t know about this, but jumping is really good exercise. Think about the fact that you’re moving your whole body weight into the air. This takes about 70 muscles in your legs. That’s a lot of muscles

They are compact

One of the reasons why you should think about doing this exercise is that it’s compact. What I mean by compact is that you can work all your major muscle groups in just one motion. So you get down to the floor and you do a push-up and after that, you jump in the air. This is working your legs, your chest, your shoulders, the list goes on of all the different muscle groups that you’re working on all at the same time.

You can do them anywhere

While you probably don’t wanna get down on the floor of your office or your clinic to do these exercises you can do them anywhere. You can wake up in the morning, and you just have to go to your living room then you can knock out a couple of burpees. Burpees can be as noisy and as quiet as you want them to be. If you just take away the jumping motion, and then just get up after you do a push-up, then this exercise can be super silent

You can modify them to any fitness level

A lot of people when they think about this exercise think that they need to be like those elite athletes who do a push-up and they jump high in the air. You don’t need to do that. Some people just get down on the ground and don’t do a push-up, and they get back up again while holding their body weight with their two arms. That’s a really basic form of this exercise, and you don’t have to do it that way if you don’t want to. The point is that you can modify this exercise to whatever fitness level that you are at

They’re free

Instead of spending money on an expensive gym membership, why don’t you just do some burpees? You can do these anywhere that you want. You don’t have to spend money on anything. If you want to you can add some more cardio, and then just run. Go ahead and run around the track, and then when you stop then maybe you can do 10 to 15 burpees on top of that, to gain muscle mass

You don’t need to have any equipment 

Like I said you don’t have to find any fancy equipment in a store. You don’t have to pay money. A lot of excuses that people have regarding exercise, is that it costs too much money. Well, who told you that you had to go buy that expensive exercise bike or that exercise treadmill? You don’t even have to buy any dumbbells. You have your body weight to lift, and by doing that you can gain muscle.

No excuses

I don’t have time. I don’t have money. Whatever it is that you don’t have, this exercise will take away all of your excuses. You don’t have to go anywhere, you don’t have to spend any money. You just have to have a couple of minutes a day to do this exercise. You can make it as strenuous or as soft on your body as you want. The choice is yours

Improve stamina

A lot of people don’t have stamina when it comes to exercising. And partly the reason why is because they just focus on muscle-building exercises only. You notice the guys who have really big muscles at the gym, when they go running, they get tired easily. If you focus on doing burpees, not only are you building muscle in your chest and shoulders, and legs, but you’re also building stamina because there’s a cardiovascular part of this exercise. Basically what it means is the more that you do this exercise, the more that you can last longer when it comes to any type of endurance exercise

In conclusion, you might not be crazy about this exercise, but it is effective. You don’t need to go anywhere as I said, you don’t need to spend any money, and, as long as you have a big enough area, basically you can do this anywhere. It might be one of the most fundamental exercises that you’ll ever learn. If you keep doing them, I promise that you’ll get used to them. You might not like them in the beginning, but you’ll thank your body later for doing so many of them.
