8/1/12 Breaking Down the Burpee: Skills Transfer #1 & #2
-Written by KC
In the next series of web posts i'll be sharing some video by Carl Paoli of GymnasticsWod.com. This video series breaks down the Burpee into simple gymnastics movements which will directly transfer over into Olympic lifting. Notice in this first progression how the feet are kept close together, and the hips are responsible for bringing the feet forward and back. This might not make for a faster Burpee right away, but it does reinforce proper movement patterns in gymnastics to transfer over to Oly lifts.
