WORKOUT RULES

Burpees:

We practice both jumping and no-jump burpees. For the sake of definition here, it will only require jumping if it says “jumping”. The default burpee term will be considered “no jumping”.

The original burpee was invented in 1930 by Royal Burpee, and did not have any jump, but also did not have even a push up for that matter. Read about it here:

Jumping burpees are better for fat burning and cardio, as they are a HIIT workout. As such, you gas out quick, it makes for a shorter workout and adding jumping to any style of burpee will certainly make you more tired, quicker.

Non-jumping burpees are focused on muscle stamina. Still a great all-body workout, and much easier on the joints.
