Movement Monday: The Burpee

Movement Monday: The Burpee

Burpees are an awesome, full-body movement that are a killer addition to any high intensity work out. Think about it- you've got a squat, an explosive jump, a push-up, and another explosive movement to finish. This dynamic move is hitting your major muscle groups and when done to pace it will give you the cardio burst you need to stay heart healthy. The more intense the movement, the longer the impact in both your overall health and your daily calorie burn.

You'll also get hooked to how great it feels to be hydrated and running on the right nutrients. Let the "bad" habits fall away naturally as you start to favor more healthy choices.
