BURPEE BROAD JUMP FORM TIPS:
- Start with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Bend your knees and hinge the hips so that you can put your hands shoulder-width apart on the floor, a few inches in front of your feet.
- From here, kick both of your feet back so that you’re in a plank position (you don’t need to hold the plank, move through it as quickly as possible)
- Lower your chest to the floor while keeping your elbows tucked to your torso
- Once your chest touches the floor, push your torso upwards, back into the plank position, then jump your feet forward to just behind your hands
- From this crouched position, jump forward with both feet at the same time, landing with them, once again, shoulder-width apart. Make sure to swing your arms forward as you jump to cover more ground.
