Building Blocks: The Metabolic Series Day 2

Share:

Burpee Box Jumps

Starting out use a box that is knee-height. As you improve at this exercise you can increase the box height. Start standing with feet shoulder-width apart. Perform a burpee without the pushup. Bend down to place your hands on the ground. Jump your feet back to end in a pushup position. As your feet touch, bring them back in one movement towards your hands. From this position stand up, then jump on to the box. As you get more familiar with the exercise, work on jumping from the crouched position on to the box. Focus on controlling the jump from the crouched positio to the box, especially as you tire. Step down from the box and repeat for prescribed reps or time.
