Based on the range of movement and muscle worked, burpees are a great metabolic burning move that you need to add to your workouts.
This means it will burn a lot of calories faster, and torch that stubborn belly fat, so you can reveal those sexy abs underneath.

Here are the 5 burpee variations and progressions to reveal your abs.
If burpees are a new movement to you, start with the beginner burpee variation, then then week by week, progress your way up to the more advanced burpee variation progressions.
Click the links below for a step-by-step exercise tutorial demonstration of each burpee variation progression.
Burpee variation progression #1 is for the beginner.
The Beginner Burpee is a slower modification to the more explosive advanced burpee variations.
The movement essentially transitions you from standing, down to a straight arm plank, then back to standing up on your feet.
Even though it’s not as fast as a regular burpee, it will still get your heart rate pumping.
To get started:
The Burpee is a fantastic calorie burning exercise that hits pretty much every muscle in your body.
To get started:
Here’s the third burpee variation, which I consider an intermediate progression.
The Burpee Push Up is a calorie burning burpee variation that includes a push up.
Adding a push up not only burns more calories, but it also targets the chest.
To get started:
In the fourth burpee variation progression, we’re adding a push up and a jump.
The Jump Burpee Push Up is an advanced variation of the burpee.
By adding a jump and a push up to this advanced modification, it will really rev up your heart rate, thus making it an even better calorie burning exercise.
To get started:
The burpee push up tuck jump is the fifth and most advanced burpee variation progression.
By adding in a push up and a high tuck jump, this advanced modification makes it an even better calorie burning exercise.
Follow the same coaching cues as the earlier burpee variations, however don’t forget the high tuck jump.
To get started:
Hopefully you enjoyed these 5 burpee variations for abs.
If you are new to burpees, start with the beginner burpee variation, then move on to the more advanced burpee variations.
I want to make sure you are pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone.
Take 1-2 weeks to master each burpee variation, then move up to the next advanced burpee progression.
Keep pushing yourself.
Add the following 7 minute burpee workout to your daily routine to reveal your abs faster.
Select any of the burpee variation progressions above and complete 3 rounds.

hey Brad, how often do you do bodyweight, hiit exercises vs weighted
exercises? or do you combine them in one session?
great channel btw 😉
Wow this was sooo helpful I am just getting started so knowing how to do
the beginner moves is great. I was just not doing them. Love it.
We do a lot of these in CrossFit 🙂
I eat comfort zones. Advanced all the way!
I can do progression 5 the hardest and I am only 14 and I love doing them,
good work brad!
Have you lost some weight???
I actually love to do burpees! I’d say I work on normal burpees most of the
time (progression #3) however I’m still working on doing the push up at the
bottom. I don’t feel my upper body & core strength is quite there yet. I
also seem to have trouble with tightness in my lower back & hips which
makes it hard to get my hands flat on the ground and then to jump my feet
back. I always used to elevate my hands on a step or a bosu to help, or
maybe I should just try to work on going to the floor??
I don’t do these, guess I will start tomorrow. Starting as a beginner.
