Burpees

Burpees are a difficult exercise that will probably get you slightly sweaty and a little breathless. They work your whole body and get your heart rate right up, so they’re a really effective part of any workout.

Stand straight with your feet shoulder-width apart, and then squat down by bending through your knees and pushing your hips back. Reach your arms out in front of you as you lower yourself down, until they touch the floor. Once your hands are planted on the ground, jump your feet back out behind you to land in a plank position. If you can, do a press-up, then jump your feet back towards your hands. When you’re back in a squatting position, jump into a standing position and then immediately go into another rep.
