Yesterday I ended up eating 2x as much as I should have for dinner (triple patty in n out burger, 2 pieces of bacon, bread and cheese, veggies, big slice of costco pizza), so I wanted to do a quick workout to burn some calories about thirty minutes afterwards to help manage the insulin spike. I remembered this great workout to burn calories quickly: burpees.
Burpees:
- Start in pushup position
- Do a pushup
- When you return to pushup position, pop your legs forward between your hands so you’re in a crouched position
- Jump
- Land, absorbing the impact of the jump and returning to a crouch
- Pop your legs back so that you are in the pushup position again. That’s 1 rep
You can do these to really stress your cardio-vascular system quickly. I was winded after 10 reps! Speed is important, as it is an explosive exercise. Video below.
