Reverse Burpee
Step 1
Plant both feet on the mat shoulder-width apart. This is your starting position.
Step 2
Inhale. Bend at both the hips and knees to carefully sit down on the mat and rock backwards to bring your knees in to your chest, lifting your lower back off the mat.
Step 3
Exhale. Rock forwards and plant your feet on the floor shoulder-width apart. You may need to roll back and forth a few times to begin with to gain momentum. Propel your body upwards into the air. Extend your legs below you and your arms above your head.
Step 4
Land in the starting position, ensuring that you maintain ‘soft’ knees to prevent injury. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions.
