February FEBURPEE BURPEE Challenge

Welcome to the #Feburpee exercise challenge, my monthly challenge for February is #FEBURPEE, and yes, you guessed it! It features one of the old-time greats in bodyweight & functional training: the BURPEE. Commonly unpopular with exercise participants due to its demanding nature, but it is loved by personal trainers due to its excellent full-body activation and effectiveness. If you already know what a burpee is, it likely brings tears to your eyes, and for those who don’t, you are in for a treat. This one is a full-body calorie-busting exercise you’ll love and hate at the same time.

Luckily for you, February is a short month, but it still won’t be easy!

All the monthly challenges we have cater to all fitness and ability levels, so do not be put off. Our monthly challenges are all about getting you moving regularly. We have the Beginner Burpee for newbies, the Regular Burpee for a little more intensity, and the Full Burpee with a Press Up for the ultimate calorie-burning.

See how you can get started with Burpees with my article on Burpees for Beginners

Why is it called a Burpee

Great question, all thanks to one guy, I’m afraid. That’s right, you can blame someone for this one. Check out our Blog Post on Why it’sCalled a Burpee’

If this sounds daunting, do not worry; there are variations for all abilities and fitness levels.

What you’ll need?

You won’t need much at all for this challenge, just yourself and some willpower. You might want a gym mat, depending on where you plan on doing the burpees. Indoors, most surfaces will be fine without a mat. Additionally, if you want to time your efforts, grab yourself a Gymboss, and you’ll find yourself using it for every HIIT workout.

Scoring the Challenge

The challenge is split into 3 levels for which you can score your progress. You don’t need to keep to one level; you can mix & match and go up or down a level. Each level has a score. Use the free-scoring sheet available for download below to track your progress and tally your total score for the month

You get either 1,2 or 3 points for the target level and either 1, 2 or 3 points for the Burpee variation. That’s a maximum of ‘6’ per day, a minimum of ‘2’ unless you skip a day, in which case it would be ‘0’.

e.g, if you choose the LEVEL 2 target guide and the REGULAR BURPEE, you will get two points for the targets achievedand two points for the exercise variation for a grand total of four points for the day, simple.

The Burpee Exercise and Levels

The burpee is a fundamental compound exercise activating many muscle groups. The exercise combines a Squat, A SQUAT THRUST, a plank, and an EXPLOSIVE SQUAT (or Squat Jump) into one movement, making it extremely dynamic and functional.

If looking at the movement pattern, you are unsure of how to safely perform it or have never done much exercise before, it’s a good idea to familiarise yourself with the SQUAT, a push-up pattern exercise, and then progress to the beginner burpee.

Want more ideas? Check out my 28 Burpee Variations

Beginner Burpee

To start, adopt a ‘Squat’ stance with feet at about hip-width apart and soft knees, squat down to the floor, placing your hands on the floor in front of you, first take one leg back, then the other so you hold a plank position before bringing one leg back and then the other and push through the floor to return to a standing position.

Regular Burpee

To start, adopt a ‘Squat’ stance with feet at about hip-width apart and soft knees, squat down to the floor, placing your hands on the floor and hop both feet back to perform a Squat Thrust, that is, a double-hop back to a Plank position. Now hop both feet forward again, bring your knees to your chest, and drive through the floor with an explosive push to jump into a squat, making sure your feet leave the floor.

Regular Burpee with No Push-Up

Full Burpee with Push Up

As with the regular burpee, this time, once you get into the plank position, you’re going to do a push-up and explosively press out of it to complete the burpee as normal.

Burpee with a Push-Up bu LIFT Session

Alternative – Chest to Floor Burpee

Chest to Floor Burpee, the above Full Burpee with Push Up can be altered to have the chest touch the floor, it’s a demanding version of the Burpee exercise which is almost identical to the above exercise except you let the chest and body touch the floor before pushing up.
