How to do burpees

  1. Set

    Stand with your feet about hip-width apart.

  2. 1

    Squat down and place your hands on the floor.

  3. 2

    Step or jump back to a plank.

  4. 3

    Stand up and reach overhead.

Take care. Step back instead of jumping and skip the push-up if you need a lower impact.
