Would you like to know the one exercise that works every muscle in your body, can be done anywhere at anytime and requires no equipment?

Well, your old high school gym teacher might have been right after all…

The Burpee, despite it’s amusing name is probably the most efficient and effective bodyweight exercise you can do to build lean muscle and burn off that beer belly.

Not to be confused with the Burp which actually makes room for drinking more beer.

If you are not emotionally scarred from the heart searing burpee workouts that your gym teacher had you do in highschool you might remember how easy AND how hard this exercise is.

In a standing position, jump down and get on all fours before pushing your feet back behind you putting you in the top position of a pushup.

With your body braced in a straight line perform a regular pushup, then jump your feet back closer to your hands so you are in the “all fours” position once again.

With explosive force jump straight up from a squatting position as high as you can while reaching your arms straight overhead.

That’s ONE rep..yeah that’s right, one rep.

Congratulations! You just completed the world’s most efficient exercise.

By performing two of the most natural upper and lower body movements in an explosive manner, the pushup and the squat, you are building functional muscle that in-turn also burns fat.

You worked your chest,shoulders,arms,back and abs with the pushup. You then challenged your legs with the jump squat.

Repeat for the desired number of reps and wipe your self off the floor.

So now you have no more excuses for getting a big workout in little time…
