"If I was limited to doing only one move for the rest of my life, honestly, I think this would be my pick!" Shayna told POPSUGAR. "This often-dreaded move is a true full-body exercise, working most major muscle groups while also improving your cardiovascular fitness and testing your balance and coordination." If you can't stand burpees, Shayna recommended slowing down and focusing on mastering every individual part of the move. You can also work up to the full exercise with these variations.
- Lower into a crouching squat with your hands on the floor.
- Do a squat thrust by jumping your feet back into a plank position.
- Do one basic push-up, bending your elbows and then straightening back to plank.
- Jump your feet forward to your hands, and come into a squat.
- Do an explosive jump straight up, getting as much height as you can.
