As I've pointed out before, intensity is everything. Here is an exercise that may be performed just three times a week that covers all your bases. And why is this important? Well, to cut your heart disease risk and keep diabetes and disease at bay in a time efficient, no excuses way!

It's a tremendous, results-producing, fat-burning exercise which exploits every muscle from head to toe and drives the cardio system like few things else. Like other whole-body exercises of its kind, it instigates a considerable HGH surge, similar to sprint protocols. Something singular to the Burpee is the athleticism and coordination involved: there's a level change and a strong core component, mixed with upper body pushing then followed by an explosive leap from the low squat position. Regularly working Burpees into your routine develops athletic attributes, such as agility and coordination, not typically covered in fitness programs.
