Hi all,
I have no idea where I got the name for these (maybe elementary school?). There are other versions and names, I just like “Burpees”. This move has 6 steps, and exercises (challenges) your Heart, Legs, Abs, Arms, Shoulders, Chest, Glutes, and Skeleton from impact! Its about 10 seconds to do ONE all the way through. I recommend my clients (depending on fitness) aim for 6 to 8 in a row; take small break, then repeat!
As always, watch it through once first, then practice along with me as I call out the timing for each move.
Take care,
Margo
Watch this video first before executing so you can learn the movement. It’s key to keep your shoulders over your hands, in a push up position as you see me point out. Keep abs tucked up, elbows slightly bent, for maximum effect.

Here is a 2 Minute quick and effective arm workout. It requires nothing but you and your arms; no equipment. Remember to stay flexed – hang in there, it seems longer then it is!!! Shoulders will kick in too; don’t “shrug” and keep neck retracted back a bit.
Take care,
Margo
PS If you’ve seen the infomercial for “Shake Weight” dont’ buy it. Hilarious to watch though!
