Squat ThrustThe Squat Thrust (also called a Burpee) is a total body exercise that can really get your heart pounding and lungs gasping. Sound like torture? Not really, just a heck of a good workout and a real fat blaster.
ST’s are perfect for high intensity circuits or intervals that combine resistance training with cardio. Now if you're unfamiliar with this one, enter with a measure of caution. And senior beginners should wait until they've built a reasonable fitness base, or do just a few reps to see what they're like. I'll say it again: ST's are intense. For more advanced trainees: Accept the challenge! The video First Jennifer demonstrates a few plain-vanilla thrusts, which are tough enough as they are. Then she shows a few that include a push-up. I think you'll agree that is this one is true total body challenge. As always, watch the video a few times and create a mental picture. People hurt themselves when their form is sloppy. Breathe naturally and often. Return from Squat Thrust to the Exercise Demonstrations page.
