Modified burpee with platform
Starting position:
Take your position at the platform with feet slightly more apart than shoulder width. Let your arms loosely hang down along your body.
Exercise:
Push-up, squat and jump onto the top of platform!
From the standing position smoothly move to a push-up with your hands on the platform. After doing the push-up, with your chest almost touching the platform, jump to the platform with both feet. After the jump, when you are on the platform, move platform right into a squat. Stand up upright from the squat on the platform and then descend the platform. Once you have stepped down, go back to the platform and lean your hands on it again and jump your feet back to get into a push-up position again. Do another repetition.
Remember:
Keep your body core firm all the time and do not bend at the waist and keep your pelvis in a neutral position.
Watch your knees when you jump onto the platform into a squat. Your knees must always be parallel with your toes and not twisted in or out.
When you jump up and down from the platform pay attention to the correct spine curvature and avoid making a big hunch or bending too much at the waist.
Recommendation:
Pick a platform height that matches your fitness level.
