Those who pump heavy iron for power and muscle size, normally shy away from cardio for fear of burning-off their precious ‘bulk’. A two to five minute metabolic circuit that includes plenty of Burpees, performed at the end of a heavy weight training session will leave the toughest bodybuilder in near barfing condition. On the plus side, it will generate a massive after-burn of fat deposits without depleting muscle mass. Over time, one might find themselves with sharper, clearer and more defined, aesthetic muscles.
- As a part of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) circuit:
High-intensity body weight circuits that include Burpees are the ideal equipment-free choice for fitness on the go and often opted by those who lack the time or accessibility to a gym for a workout. The following sample workout is a time efficient route to a full body burn. Even though you may modify the exercises to a low-impact version to suit your individual fitness level; you will find that attempting even a single round of the given exercises first thing in the morning; will leave you feeling great for the rest of the day.
