I’m recovering from a stroke. I’m working my way to these. Thanks!

[@MinusTheGym]

Darren Sorry to hear that, but I'm glad you're taking up exercise. Just make sure your doctor is on board with you starting an exercise program. Eat as healthy as you can too, if you're not already. This is a good resource from the American Heart Association's website. Increasing fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes is best. Try to limit (or completely avoid) meat: www.stroke.org/we-can-help/survivors/stroke-recovery/life-style/diet-and-nutrition/

[@1121conan]

I'm 65 years old and a recovering throat cancer survivor. I do what we called in the US Marine Corps "Bends and Thrusts" which is essentially a burpee. Because of my age and being a total laryngectomee(neckbreather) from my cancer surgeries I do these gently by doing them in front of my stairwell and placing my hands on the second step and then kicking back my legs into the plank position and then back under me and stand up straight. I then repeat for the set number of reps I'm trying to reach for each set. These are working well for me and soon I feel I will be able to forgo the stairs and go to the floor.

[@MinusTheGym]

1121conan Nice! That's a great idea using the stairs to elevate the hands until you have the mobility to go down to the floor 👍

[@SD_Alias]

Good idea! I am in my 50th and absolute Beginner. I will try my garden bench instead of stairs…

Thanks for the stages of burpees. At 78, I’m struggling with even the Gentle Burpees and I can’t even get into a decent squat to begin with. So I’ll work on squats separately. I’m on day 2 of the 50 burpees for 30 days challenge. Thanks for your encouragement.

[@heidilefevre2680]

That's amazing at 78 you are working on the burpees! That's an encouragement to all of us... Keep working on it and you'll get it!!!!!!

[@MrTommytuna]

I have avoided burpees because of the many variants and the complexity created in my mind in watching what can seem like endless modifications. The way that you started the progression with the simplest variant and worked up to the more complex will make it much more simple for me to get started and work my way up. Thank you. This is very well done. Practical and useful.

[@wittesend]

As an avid crossfitter and 72yo I struggled with burpees for a long time trying to sort out how to do something that would flow and get my HR up. I finally ended up with your baby burpee variation with the hop. Only I called them my half-assed burpees. I wish I had seen this a few years ago. It would have saved me a lot of experimentation and frustration. Thanks for this! Following now!

[@kyledupre9799]

I found that coming back in the squat position on your toes puts a lot of strain on the knees. Keeping my heels flat when I come back up makes a huge difference and places more of the work in my glutes.

Thanks for sharing a simple way of doing this exercise .I should have learnt about before I did my surfing lessons. Once I get good at burpess I will have a go at the surfing lesson. I had a operation in 2006. Now while it allowed me to do most things again it restored my ability to walk. When you cant walk you cant work very well anymore. In a trade say good by to the ability to get around without legs.

Great video. Good advice. Everyone’s fitness level is not the same. Without a trainer by your side, it’s important you know what you can and cannot do...yet. A person should not do something that can potentially harm their body. I think your demonstration is great in that you show the baby steps and gradually make the exercise more challenging as one works toward a fitness goal.

[@manuelochoa9266]

I congratulate you for breaking down the steps to do a burpee. The funny thing to me is that I learned them in the Army but of course, the drill Sargent never explained much and we just did what they told us to do. Plus we started to do it at the advanced level from the "get-go" I haven't done those in a very long and they won't be as easy since I got older and got heavier. But by you putting them in different levels it makes it easier. Thank you for the information and keep up the great job you are doing.

I'm currently at the "Hop Squat" level. My biggest challenge is figuring out when to inhale/exhale during the movement. Any suggestions?

[@nomadicroadrat]

What? Like there's breathing involved? No one mentioned breathing. Sigh. One more thing to figure out. It's always the little things, in'it?

[@madcat173]

Exhale on every exertion or push. Inhaling will take care of itself.

[@worldcitizenra]

Great discussion of the variations. It took me back in time though. All the way back to the 1950's and 60's to my routine with the Army when the Daily Dozen was part of our life. Several of the variations were included in the Daily Dozen regimen.

[@JeniBlogs]

So, if I can't squat low enough to touch the ground with my hands, is there such a thing as a bench burpee?

[@MinusTheGym]

Jenifer Alsemgeest yes, good question. You could use a bench, the bottom of a staircase, a step stool... anything sturdy and elevated to put your hands on during the kick out. I also recommend doing a few squat stretches daily in the evening. You're more limber in the evening so that will help. Just go into as deep of a squat as you can while maintaining good form and hold the position. Let your weight pull you down so you sink deeper gradually. Hold it for as long as you can bear each time. Over time your squat flexibility will improve and you'll be able to touch the ground :)
