It’s probably fair to assume that leg day is not your favorite workout of the week. From a vanity standpoint, there’s less to gain in a lower body workout (“Wow, that guy has amazing hamstrings!” said no one, ever.) From a performance perspective, your legs get more of a workout from everyday life (climbing stairs, walking the dog) than any other muscle group in your body, making a leg-specific workout feel a bit redundant. Is a leg workout really something you need to take on? Yes. Yes it is. And this bodyweight workout will hit all the necessary areas and help you build a lower body that stands the test of time.

3 Burpee Variations To Test Your Strength And Stamina

The Twister Burpee

The only thing easy about this variation is the explanation. Perform a regular burpee and, at the end, jump 180 degrees so that you’re facing the opposite way. Then do another rep, alternating directions each time.

The Candlestick Burpee

Start in a squatting position, and roll backward until your shoulders touch the ground, and your legs come up over your body. Then, roll forward into your pushup, recover, and complete the rep with a vertical leap.

The Lateral Jump Burpee

Rather than jumping vertically during each rep, jump horizontally over a stationary object.

The burpee is one of the best bodyweight moves around. Here are some more variations to try.
