Interval Training with Burpees
Image by sallycrochets
Burpees are an intense exercise, no doubt. When you combine Burpees with an intensity technique such as interval training, what you get is incredible, puke-inducing, fat burning workouts. Here are few you should try out:
Burpees Tabata Interval Workout:
A Tabata interval consists of 20 seconds work, 10 seconds rest. Perform two rounds of the following workout:
- 4 Tabata rounds of Burpees
- 2 Tabata rounds Squat Jumps
- 2 Tabata rounds Pushups
- 2 Tabata rounds Leg Pullin
See if you can build yourself up to 5 rounds without puking
Sprints + Burpee Intervals
In the following workout, you may need a partner, or a really loud timer to help you with the intervals. Perform the following workout for 3 rounds:
- 30 Seconds Sprinting
- 30 Seconds Burpees
- 30 Seconds Rest
Work up to 8 rounds
The 2 minute Drill
The 2 minute drill is simply where you set the time for 2 minutes, and perform as many burpees within this time period as possible. You usually need quite some time to recover from this workout, so I’d be surprised if you can perform 3 rounds of the following workout:
- 2 minutes Burpees
- 1 minute Rest
I’d be impressed if you could do 3 rounds.One of the best ways to help you with your intervals is to use the GymBoss Interval Timer. It costs just $19.95, and you can program it to help you keep track of any sort of intervals you may use. Click here to grab yours today.
Good post Parth. I sometimes do a similar workout with burpees that I call Bodyweight Soccer Sprints. You start off by doing a set of bodyweight burpees (a burpee where you jump up and do a pull up afterwards), sprint to a point and back, then repeat. Gives you a great workout and is quite versatile.
What exactly does the term Leg Pullin mean? Is this the abdominal exercise?
While in push up position, pull your legs in. It’s like a mountain climber, but you’re pulling both legs at the same time.
