I do want to add the following suggestions to make sure you do this exercise properly:
To all my fellow Boot Campers this is for you! Did you know there is a “military” workout that will kick your body into shape really fast? It does because it uses the whole body in an exercise. Instead of just working your arms for example, this workout involves your entire body so it burns calories faster and longer. You will be using your own body as resistance so no equipment is needed. That’s the best part of all!
1. Do them slow and controlled. Don’t try to finish a marathon with these. Your joints need to be cared for and jerky quick movements will only lead to injury.
2. Try starting out with 5 or 10 repetitions and add a few daily or every other day to avoid over-use injury.
3. If you have any pain – STOP.
4. Be sure you are in good health to begin a workout program.
Burpee-Like Military Workout
1. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your hands above your head.
2. Drop into a squat, placing your hands on the floor beside your feet, and kick your feet back into push-up position.
3. Do a push-up.
4. As you rise up, swing your knees into your chest and place your hands back on the floor, so that you’re in the same position as Number 2.
5. Explode upwards, jumping as high as you can.
6. Return to position 1, and repeat.
You will feel the burn from these for sure! Please use care when performing any exercise. This is an intense strength-building, endurance-raising powerhouse combo exercise.
