Here are some amazing benefits of Burpees:

Helps to burn calories:

They are fantastic calorie burners, as they need a lot of energy for your muscles to perform this exercise which helps in burning calories.

A 2015 study published in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that participants consumed more oxygen while doing burpees compared to squats, deadlifts, and lunges. And to meet that higher consumption, the body burns more calories.

Full body workout:

An exercise that requires many muscles and joints to work together is helpful for supporting daily functional movement. Be it squatting, jumping, or planking, it engages both your upper body and lower body, and core in every repetition.

Builds stronger core:

Since the core is our base of movement and stability, burpees can help you build a stronger core. A stronger core is needed for performance, injury reduction, and quality of movement. When you engage the core throughout the entire movement it is a good workout for your core.

Convenient:

You don’t need any equipment to perform burpees as long as you have enough space to do the movements. You can perform it anywhere and can modify it which leaves various options available for you.

Good for cardiovascular health:

Burpees require higher oxygen consumption than other exercises. It is a good exercise for your heart health, and a fantastic exercise to get your heart rate pumping. Since the muscles need energy, your hearts and lungs are forced to work more efficiently. This exercise combines both strength training and cardio. If you can perform it properly and consistently it can be very beneficial and will condition your muscles, get your heart pumping, and your sweat flowing. Even if you complete a few burpees on a regular basis you will see improvement over time.
