I will change my feet landing I do it so far behind Thank you for your video!

[@rodleys6686]

Definitely pacing, jump back, step up sounds like a great way to monitor this

[@edkarljr]

I think one of the issues for me is the flexibility. I usually do step down, step up. But on the step up I can't get my feet up far enough. So, I still end up doing an extra push with my arms to roll back on to my feet solidly before standing and jumping.

[@WODprep]

Yeah that's a common issue. Scaling the burpee is an option in this instance - even just not going all the way to the floor.

Pacing is something that I really need to improve. Thank you for sharing.

Change people's opinion about my burpee, I do absolutely right as what you explained.

[@ungarlinski7965]

I'm 51. I feel like I pulled a lower back muscle on the left side when doing my burpees. They've always been nearly impossible for me since I started 5 months ago at my box. Ever heard of this? Maybe the farther you bring your toes to your hands the more lower back stress it creates or lower back flexibility it requires.

Amazing video! 👏🏻 I’m trying to learn how to pace myself so I can do more unbroken burpees

[@CrystalWelsh-o3u]

Gah. This. Video. Wow. Thank youu! I am for sure going to work on my pacing aaaand, try the jump down-step up burpee! You're doing Gods work. 💪

[@denniskacian3277]

Feet to hands definitely a good tip.

[@michaelkrieger673]

Thank you. It’s gotta be pacing for me.

[@fish6257]

Gonna change my pace and start doing the jump down/step up. The pooping dog, which I am, smokes my shoulders.

[@christinewatson8565]

Pacing! And I'm pretty sure I'm doing toesie burpees so I'm going to fix that! Thanks for the great tips!

[@WODprep]

You're so welcome!

[@giovannisciotti9972]

I will try to step up and go slower and steady next times

[@HairLove-tw4lj]

Pace!

[@jimpintchuk5627]

Pacing. What would be optimum sets, reps, day per week for burpees as part of my workout.

[@tonyisup]

I save the quads a bit by instead of jumping the feet up, using the abs to pop up off the ground and letting the hip flexors squeeze the legs up to the hands like a pike. Def requires the mobility for it, though

[@NidaNaeem-g8j]

Why I feel pressure and pain in my wrists while getting up in plank position during burpee?

[@sgkansaku8485]

I’ve been doing strict burpees

[@georgehealy8350]

Pacing 100%

[@tonytoob4123]

Thank you!

[@808kea808]

Any tips on plopping to the ground ? I tend to always do a negative. Idk y. lol. Also my elbows start flaring outwards on the down

[@Jillousa]

Sounds like some coach out there is a burpee maniac

[@haldendoerge]

The strict burpee as the #1 "mistake." That's pretty hilarious.

[@Trista_Lukaszewski]

Definition of burpee: Get to the floor. Find a way to get back up. Cry later 😂

[@Phatzoo]

Pace 🎉

[@NunoFerreira]

I always do strict burpees and fast. Now I know why I feel exhausted after half a dozen burpees. 😅

[@WODprep]

Haha right!!

[@philg55]

[@brianmorris4446]

Pacing and flexibility

[@thomasstein2718]

[@irvingolivares888]

As "llados" says: jumping at final of burpees makes you a "mileurista" LOL
