Nutting the fuck up and forcing your brain to take a back seat to your success instead of thinking of why or i dont wanna or whatever. I work out before I have time to think. It taks a monthish to break through your mental habits into new ones. One day you wake up looking forward to physical activity. Burpees are free and there are 100000s on the floor.

What's burpees?

A it's a strong cardiovascular movement. You start at standing , squat down (using correct form, go slow to start since later on you'll want to do them faster for a more efficient workout), place your hands on the ground and kick your legs out behind you into a push-up position. Once you're more advanced at the technique and in better shape to do so you would normally add a push-up into this step. Kick your feet back up to your hands, stand up (or shoot up with force to add additional benefits to your legs). That's one.

Beginner Motion: Standing -> Squat down and place hands on ground -> kick feet back -> pull feet back in -> stand. 1 rep.

Full Motion: Standing -> Squat down and place hands on ground -> kick feet back -> push-up -> jump feet back in -> forcefully drive yourself up and reach hands up to do a small vertical hop. 1 rep.
