Burpees are hard and have a reputation for a reason. Therefore, if you’re ready to add this exercise into your routine or if you’re itching for a challenge, start slow. We recommend beginning with burpees two days a week, starting with 10 reps. These will tire you out, so concentrate on your form! Don’t increase your reps, sets, or frequency until you are consistently doing each burpee with proper technique. It’s better to do less properly than do more when you’re too tired to nail the proper alignment.
