Baba Jan hahah I was about to comment that shit too! Don’t forget your eyes, ears, mouth, and nose
Ngl when you do it without shoes it’s gonna sting a lil after

Should I first complete my pushup and then stand or I can try standing while I'm coming up from a pushup?
Six years later and this is the BEST video on burpees that Ive seen. Wish I saw this earlier. I love how its focused on avoiding injury! Very well done sir.

Training for my first Spartan (Super), after virtually being on the couch. This is a game changer, as I've begun with 30 burpees a day. On Day 12 now, and very grateful to have found this video. Avoiding injury is everything! Yours is the gift that keeps on giving. Thank you!
Too bad most exercise videos don't stress proper form and injury prevention. They just list out a bunch if exercises and say do this and that to build this and that. This is a great video.

Okay, I just followed your advice with focussing on the squat position and within the first 80, no more tight back. It's definitely a slower burpee but I can do a lot more and it feels so much better. Thanks again
That's good to hear! Get it done!!!!
I made EVERY MISTAKE you showed NOT to do , Thanks VERY Much for clear that up
Funk Roberts . I will try them again once my neck heals up. I had my arm full and bent over using my Back not my Legs to pick it up.

I didn’t know either
Me..who just youtubed what a burpee was lol.
first time i seen burpee was in movie shotcaller and i thouth that exercise was so fk cool i had to learn what its called. tho never did them correctly it seems.
Thank you for this! I’m doing 25 burpees a day in Oct for the American Cancer Society and this just saved my back & shoulders 💪🏽
This is exactly how I do my burpees!! Thank you for letting me know that I’m doing them safely and correctly!
Best tutorial I have found on TH-cam. Thank you very much sir.

This has always been something we and my gym buddies debate about all the time - how to do a proper burpee etc... I'm glad I got to learn from you - its safe, and it's clean.
francis tepaeru browne I’m late... I’ve been wondering for 3 years what other way of doing a burpees besides this
I recently just experienced some lower back pain and now I can see the reason why. Appreciate it Roberts!!!

Thank you for putting an effort to demonstrate the correct form to avoid injury. Great teaching man.
I was trying for 7 years to do a burpee with a pushup as a go to the ground, this video just saved me a lot of pain.
I was having back pain while doing Burpees and now I know why. Thank you very much man, one of the most helpful video.

I've did a few incorrectly and I could tell something was off and sure enough I did them as you stated and now there is so much less fatigue on my body and I'm able to do more than I thought possible.
Absolutely amazing! I have wanted to incorporate this exercise in my workout routine for so long! But I heard of so many injuries people incurred! Thank you for this flawless demonstration. Now I feel confident to try them! Awesome job!
The UK’s Radio 1 DJs were doing 3 mins of ‘Burpees’ and then immediately coming back on air. Most amusing radio, as they were completely knackered, and could barely speak. I didn’t know what a ‘burpee’ was, and Mr. Funk has not only explained it, but demonstrated how to do it correctly to avoid common injuries. Nice bit of tuition video. Top marks, Mr. Funk.

Best form I’ve seen. A lot of these videos have you bend over to get down and get back up. Completely forgetting that the burpee also includes a squat.

Funk Rob the fact that you talked thru this video, while doing burpees, shows you practice what you preach. When you do burpees for the first time like me, talking is not an option. Thanks! For another great video Funk.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🙂🙂🙂🙂
Great video. I love the fact that you demonstrate the burpee without the need to do a jump. It's okay to not jump - jumping adds stress to the joints - and for people like myself with rheumatic issues, it heightens the risk of injury. I can do these without the jumps and it works great.
only one problem, jumping is the biggest part of the burpee. Burpees without jumping is just standing up between push ups.
I had rheumatism, especially in the knees, but since I started running (3k /day) doing squats and jumping burpees, no more knee pain.
Every one is different.
My nephew who is a Marine demonstrated this exercise for me a while back. I needed a refresher because I was getting knee pain and suspected I was doing a step incorrectly. Sure enough, I was. Thank you for this. Now I know. This is textbook form. Sub’d.
Thank you! I came here to find out what a burpee was so I could start adding them to my workout routine (only doing cardio currently) and found your video! Super helpful thank you!

The golden gems in this vid finally surfaced for me, 9 yrs after publication. Thanks a lot
Thanks so much for this, it is one of the best explanations. I'm 65 female
and just starting with these and planks.
misottovoce 66 and doing burpees?? respect!!
Are you still working out? how do you deal with the pain?
Antonio J Maldonado 65 bro prolly dead by now
Certified Finest thats fucked up lol
@@certifiedfinest5065 make sure you reach that age
I was doing it incorrectly and getting tired too easily....and also too much pressure on shoulders was very evident.
This demonstration is awesome.
I can't believe this, I've been doing mines wrong the whole time!!! Thanks!!!
Mr. Funk Roberts always giving excellent tutorials on fitness and agility. Much respect to you Sir...keep on posting...🙏
I also have to add that I HATE Crossfit style burpees. They lean over, immediately drop their chest to the ground with hips touching the floor, and then "bow and snake" up. When I do 10 sets of 10 for 100 burpees, my legs and upper body are on FIRE. I do a squat, kick back into a full push-up position, and do an actual push-up on every rep. Just like I don't do "kip-up" pull-ups either. But when I do 100 actual burpes in 13-15 minutes I feel more beat down than with 45-60 minute full body high intensity workouts. Crazy!
Burpees are actually a variation of an 8-Count Body Builder, which requires a full push-up as you are doing. That snake crap is what I've never understood.
Ryan Deffley doesn't it hurt your shoulders and back when touching the floor during the push up part?! I see a lot of people doing it and always thought it was the wrong way to do a burpee.
This so much. Correct form is way harder and taxing to the body. I always marveled at how some people could do 50 in 3 minutes or some crap like that. Turns out they are doing it incorrectly. Greetings!
100% same here man.
I'm glad you showed the basic burpee .most vids include the push up and hop at the end as the full burpee ,which is not necessary to do the actual burpee..those are added movement. Thanks
Thanks Juan!
Valuable injury preventing information earns subscriber .
Cheers
This is our homework while being stuck in a quarantine.
Best explanation I've seen... you explain & show the "WHY" of the exercise. Thanks! 😊
Thanks, I think I was doing them wrong because my legs weren't spread apart enough, so I was rolling forward which hurt my wrists when I tried to do them quickly. Cheers.
Very helpful video and I echo what a lot of people comment below. A lot of times the trainer doesn’t inform us of how to prevent us from getting injuries. We simply follow what they do and end up hurting ourselves without knowing why.
This is exactly what I have been searching for in the last 45 minutes! Thank you so much!
the audio was bad because of the wind BUT it just makes me concentrate even more. thanks for the correct safe burpee F.R.
Thanks ! I was doing burpees incorrectly ! Thanks for the demonstration
Making Burpess injury free again. Thank you Funk Roberts
Thank you! Doing it as you explained has helped me so much!

Thanks for showing proper technique. I first saw your video about a year ago. Now I do burpees like nobody's business. It's imbedded in my workout routine. Thnx again.
Another really good vid, love how you really take time and explain each aspect of the movement. Keep the vids coming and thanks

Great breakdown!!!
Did CrossFit for just 4 months and ended up with busted knees and shoulders. It was all about the numbers on the whiteboard and nothing about injury prevention.
Grazie! This is exactly what I needed to see. There's hope for me yet!

For those of you that do CrossFit, please ensure you focus on form over speed. I’ve been doing CrossFit for many years and during AMRAPS, I find people more often than not go as fast as possible with garbage form. Your coaches should be intervening but those of you that do it at home,...proper technique is crucial!!!! Thanks for the video my friend.
I just tried your way and this is how I will be doing burpees from now on.
Thank you Funk! Exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you!!!! You broken down instruction video showed me that I’ve been doing them wrong and that’s why they hurt my knees. With my legs on the outside and my hands inside, I can do them and it doesn’t hurt! Thank you!!!!
Thanks heaps Mate, I have directed many people to your youtube. Burpees is all I do and people cannot believe how fit I look.
How many burps do you do a day?
Tanya Francis Hi Tanya I do about a 100 a day, sometimes more. I find it doesn't take long and keeps in shape. How about you?
Hello Charlie,
Just starting! I'm going to follow this fitness challenge. 20 . pushups, 20 burpees, 20 crunches & 20 squats for five days. Then the next week increase by 10 and every week thereafter till you reach 100.
Tanya Francis That sounds like a great fitness challenge. I think you will get great benefit from your workout. With a burpee you get all the benefit of pushups, crunches and squats plus cardio in one movement. So if you don't feel like a big work out you can just burpee. Thats why I love this exercise.
Charlie Roddenby apparently you're right. now keeping up with 100 burpees 100 squats routine since I don't have much time going to gym and stuff. glad that just doing burpees can actually keep your body fit. you convinced me now! :)
You had me at protecting your joints! Very underrated video! I love the content!
I am no where near this level yet (just beginning and am all soft and sad), but I just wanted to say that I love this breakdown with a focus on safety, using actual musculoskeletal jargon, and not making me, the viewer, feel like a total 'tard. Watching this, you make me feel like I can almost do this...some day! Very professional and kind!
I know this is 5 years but you can do it at anytime there's no such thing as faliure there's always a try again
Id smash
Thank you for emphasizing hands between the knees. I needed that!
thanks for the great tip - I'm trying to work on my form!
This was a really clear demonstration. Thankyou. Also shows how tough burpees are when the guy demonstrating, who is clearly super fit and presumably does them a lot is getting out of breath just trying to talk while doing them.
dude this is gold dust, you just shown how I did my back in before and how to prevent it again,
Thanks so much
Thanks for the tips brotha. I had a pt and he didn't even specifically tell me the ways to avoid injuries
I appreciate it man!
Robert, THANK YOU! 🙏🏼
It was so hard for me. YOU helped me!
No wonder why my knee was bleeding yesterday. Thank you!!!!! For your work in this video.
Thanks man! You saved the day for me on this one! Big ups on form and technique!
Been watching videos for over 1 year, trying to stir myself to do burpees. I hate being on the floor. Yours is the first one that made me feel comfortable. I’m ready to do it now!
This will help me for when I teach my HIIT class tomorrow. Thank you!
Thank you for helping me get the burpees going. This technique works great for me. I am not as young as I used to be-getting older, heavier, all that-so getting the effective intensity of activity without overuse injuries has been a real problem. Wearing wrist wraps and workout gloves to protect my hands and wrists, I modified the burpee to exclude the jump because I pulled a muscle in my inner thigh the first set, but I didn't give up. Working around that I am definitely seeing results. the perfect intensity to tone muscles, get the heart pounding, open the airways and burn fat. I was able to do 30 burpees every day the second week. I doubled the burpees by doing the laddering routine with brief rest intervals 1 rep, 2 reps, 3 reps, etc., up the ladder, then decreasing the number of reps going down the ladder. I'm not sure my math is very good, but it is a great workout! The burpees don't require expensive equipment or much room. Thanks again, Mr.Roberts for helping me succeed on my personal health and fitness crusade.
hardest ish in the world for me smh, I'm gassed fast
Thank you for this! At my box I asked for a breakdown of how to do burpees with better form because I was having a lot of back and knee pain. The coach laughed and said "just do the movement and ot will be ok. Eventually something else will hurt and your back won't bother you anymore".
I don't train there anymore but unfortunately I don't train anywhere now. I'm gonna start working at home and get back into shape
Thank you, it helps me to have an exercise broken down into to parts like this. To see where I need improvement is key for growth. I read a quote yesterday that said “exercise is a celebration for what the body is capable of not something you do because u ate too much”

Thank you for this awesome video! I'm all about proper form and I wasn't sure what the proper form was for a burpee. I also found some videos on TH-cam showing form that didn't look right. What you are showing looks right and makes sense. This is the best video on TH-cam on how to properly perform a burpee!
good technics dude... thanks
dogecoin digger thanks so much
Awesome. It is very discouraging for a middle aged person trying to get back in shape when they keep injuring themselves and the pain makes sitting down to focus on work and school difficult. I now feel I can get after it while being less likely to injure myself. Thanks!
I thought I was doing my burpees wrong been doing the right the whole time :)
Iron Wolf does his burpees in a different way that I can't seem to do without hurting my lower back so I do that squat at the beginning like you said in this vid, and now i have confirmation it's good tech!
I watch Iron Wolf too, but I still do my burpee this way (squat-pump-jump). One thing I've incorporated from him though is his 6 count which helps with cadence and breathing.
@@talemire258 yeh I count too, weirdly meditative when you do the counting and I agree it helps with breathing. Amazing what doing regular burpees can do...love them now haha.
Excellent demo! Nice.
Thank you. Thumbs way up!
Is that one of the twin towers of OSU---
Lincoln or Morrill in the background??? Anyway, great exercise video!! ~~~JP
Wtf do almost a thousand people have in their minds not liking this!? It's amazing advice, free from a trained professional. What is wrong with people today????
Thank's a lot! This is very informative especially for begginers the real old school Burpee here. Fck modern versions they'll get you injured with those nasty forms! Proper squat, Push ups, and Hip thrust 👌
asCYprInus A3girMr yeah I was always told not to do the jump and put that energy towards more burpees. I cant do the jump in my upstairs apt anyways. I dont think it makes much of a difference.
Definitely adding this to my quarantine routine
Should have watched this sooner my shoulder is killing me 😣
Thanks a lot I have been doing it wrong all the time. U can make a great teacher 👌👌👌
I love to do burpees, but I'm not able to do a push up properly :(.
you can always rest your knee on the ground and keep your upper body in a neutral position until you build enough strength in upper body and core. then you can make the legs straight.
Actually you don't need to be able to do a full push up properly to be able to enjoy the benefits of the burpee. You can worm or peel yourself off the ground with enough momentum to bring your feet under you
An actual burpee is without the pushup. The push up added is a burpee vatiation.
I believe that what you're describing, a burpee without the pushup, is commonly called a squat thrust.
Do them separately. The burpee doesn't have to include the push up or hop
I love how personal trainers always find a way to throw in anatomical terms into discussions of basic movements. Can’t just say the shoulder, gotta get technical and make it about the supraspintus.
dang i can't do pushups for so many reps with them tucked in, gotta train it :(
dkimmortal me too, gotta practice more
You can have them at a 45 degree angle just not completely flared out.
Thank you for breaking this down. Today is my first doing doing burpees in my entire life and the first time I did it, I already know I messed. This vid is very helpful. THANK YOU!
whoever gets up from a burpee using your knees...need help

Thank you I needed to know how to do it properly so I don't hurt myself, other ones I've seen just don't quite show it the way you did, not to mention your far better looking than some of the others I've seen demonstrate. Thanks.
Fantastic and informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience!
Thanks a ton Sir..I had a shoulder injury due to incorrect way of doing a burpee but seeing this I am now looking forward to doing it correctly..thank you again
I never thought of the issues you mentioned. Wow.. thank you so much for taking the time to make this video.
Thank you immensely Funk Roberts; You just solve my aching lower back problem.
Very informative with very clear instructions, as someone with back issues at a relatively young age I appreciate videos where they show you what to avoid. Keep up the good work.
thanks, really detailed explanation, shoulders been very sore and now i know why.
Thanks Roberts. Supper informative video. This is the best me on burpees that I've found. You also helped me with my shoulders when I do push ups.
Just found this. Thank you for taking your time to teach people to do this correctly. Very awesome...!!!!!!!!
