Let's talk about burpees. You either love them or you hate them. There is no in between. (You know who you are. ๐)
But here's the thing, whether you're all in or counting down to the last one, form matters. A sloppy burpee is how you end up with a sore wrist or a cranky lower back instead of a great workout.
The two most common things I see: people shooting their hips up first when they hit the floor instead of keeping their core engaged, and rushing the jump at the top just to get it over with.
Slow it down. Hips and chest hit the floor together. Core tight on the way up. And if you need to modify, step out instead of jumping into the plank position. It slows the whole movement down and keeps your form intact.
Better to modify and do it well than to push through and pay for it later. That goes for burpees and honestly most things in life.
