Day 75: Supa'Slow Burps

Take. It. Slow.

Each count in the super slow burpee is done slowly and methodically. For each count, say it out loud as you are doing it.

Remember, intentionally performed burpees are superior to the spastic method commonly used in some HIIT programs. Controlled burpees, without the useless jump, allow the trainee to focus on tighening the glutes when standing up, and focus on form throughout the entire movement.

Time Domain

  • EMOM - Every 1:15, perform 3 super slow burpees for 5 rounds. 15 total burpees.

    • Start the clock

    • Round 1: Execute 3 SS burpees, based on your level

    • Rest the remainder of the minute + :15, which is 1:15

    • Round 2: Start again at 1:15 and execute 3 SS burpees, based on your level

    • Rest til 2:30

    • Round 3: Start again at 2:30

    • Rest til 3:45

    • Round 4: Start again at 3:45

    • Rest til 5:00

    • Round 5: Start again at 5:00

Workout Level Suggestions

  • Level 1, 2, & 3: All levels perform burpees for :30

    • Level 1: 4-Count

    • Level 2: 6-Count

    • Level 3: 6-Count (no typo, both 2& 3 are doing 6-counts)

Coaches Plan

I am going to focus specifically on strength + mobility
