The Burpee - PHYSICAL FRIDAY #45

The burpee is not someone's favorite exercise, and its actually something that most people really don't like to do. If you aren't familiar with the burpee exercise it is when you start on your feet and drop down to do a push up, then move back to your feet and jump up in the air and clap your hands above your head.

I really like the burpee because it is something that you can do absolutely anywhere with no equipment. I recently heard that there is a correlation between your ability to get down and stand up and how long you'll live. If you're able to sit down and stand up without using your hands then that is a an indicator to your quality of life and length of life. But I think it is really a good indicator of your joint/muscle health and the burpee is helping those parts of your body as well.
