What's the "correct" way of doing them?
I've always done them as a squat to plank to pushup and back up. I've recently seen a variation where the pushup was omitted. Which one is the correct way? |

Was a woman doing the burpee without the push-up? That's a "scaled" version for those who can't do push-ups. Generally speaking, a correct burpee includes a push-up and touching an object at least 6" above your max reach on the jump. Make sure you touch it every rep so you don't cheat yourself on the jump when you start breathing hard and feeling sorry for yourself |

Where i train standard burpee has a push-up and a jump.
Some variations: No push-up burpee - plank to squat to jump Lateral bar burpee - vertical jump replaced with a sideways jump over barbell Burpee box jump - vertical jump replaced with box jump Burpee box jump over - vertical jump replaced with box jump and step down to opposite side |

Yeah, I made a spectacle when I missed the box and my buddies had a good laugh and my shins got scraped up pretty good. I'm pretty coordinated and all, but when I'm start getting tired from burpees I just dunno where and how I'll land.

Gonna have to add some pull up burpees. My wife scales burpees by doing plank to feet wide to plank and jump. |

At my gym when we do them it is a lot about speed (It is a high intensity cardio class). You are basically sprawling into the plank. A push up is almost needed to catch yourself. But it isn't really part of it.
I have done them both ways. Normally I am doing push ups on top of it so I might omit the push up in the burpee. |
