Burpee Buddy

Are you afraid of burpees? Do they seem too hard?

Have NO FEAR!!  Instead, find a "Burpee Buddy." 

This is my new name for a chair, couch, bench, table, anything that you can use to put your hands on as you drop into the plank movement of the burpee.

Burpees are simply a squat, plank, squat and maybe a push-up and/or jump. That's simple when you break it down. 

We often lose our great form and confidence when we dive into the plank without enough core control letting our bellies droop, butts poke up, hands go forward, etc. 

INSTEAD, build your form and confidence one step at a time by mastering the plank form with a little help from a buddy. 

When dropping into a plank on a sturdy chair you lessen the load on your core, don't have to drop so far to the ground and give your core a chance to do its job - BRACE YOU!  And, that leads to a stronger core/ glutes and better results for you.

You have nothing to lose but your fear of burpees and all to gain in your form. Try it and tell me what you think.
