A No-Equipment-Necessary Strength Builder

By Craig Ballantyne

A "burpee" is a tough, advanced bodyweight exercise - strength and endurance packed into one - that you can do without any equipment. There are all sorts of variations, but my favorite is to add a push-up in the middle and a jump at the end. Here's how to do it:* Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.* Squat down, place your hands on the floor, and thrust your feet back into push-up position.* Do a push-up, and bring your knees back up to your chest.* Jump up as high as you can, landing with your knees slightly bent.* Repeat for 6-10 repetitions.Make sure you wear proper shoes and do this on a soft surface (not concrete or pavement).

[Ed. Note: You don't need fancy equipment, hours of cardio training, or even a gym membership to build muscle and burn fat. Learn how you can get fit with three 45-minute workouts a week with fitness expert Craig Ballantyne's Turbulence Training program right here.
