Workout of the Week: 30 Burpees

One of the simplest and most effective fat-burning exercises you can do is a burpee.  However, when most people do them the either only do a few reps or their form is terrible or both.  The next time you do them do 30 reps in a row to feel their full effect. 

I got this idea from the book Spartan Up by Joe De Sena.  When people make a mistake during the Spartan Race they have to do 30 burpees as a penalty.

The next time you work out do 30 in a row and see how you feel.  You can do it at the end of your current workout as a finisher or you can do it all by itself if you are short on equipment.  You can even do multiple sets of 30 burpees if time and energy permit.

However you want to use them just remember this important point -- go for 30 reps in a row.

Give it a try sometime and see how you feel!
