Burpee/Pull-ups!!! -BodyRocker Tommy -Team USA

Posted by Zuzana - BodyRock.Tv | In All Videos, BodyRockers, Featured Articles, Your Burpees Everywhere

Hey BodyRockers!! Tommy here again. I just wanted to share with you my variation of Burpees Everywhere. I don’t get to travel or see exotic places very often. So I did these Burpee/Pull ups in the comfort of my own backyard:) I took a 2×4 and nailed it across two trees. You can easily do these on any pull up bar but I thought being out in the woods would spice it up a little bit ha. This is an awesome workout! I usually do 3 or 4 sets of failure… Meaning I go until I can’t go anymore, rest for a quick minute then do it again 2 or 3 more times. Quick, but very intense. Give it a try! Let me know what you think. Excuse the tubby-ness of my stomach I have been slacking big time on my diet lately! Today was actually the first day back on strict diet in like a week. I wouldn’t be anywhere near where I am if it weren’t for BODYROCK.tv!!!! I love you all!!!! Bodyrock on from MN!

    It seemed so effortless and easy that for a tiny bit I forgot how I still do struggle with push ups if I have to do more than 2 in a row LOL

    Not sure if you’re interested but you can ferment brown rice for it’s mineral availability.

    Tommy—thanks bud! What you’ve suggested is pretty much on my menu most of the time–minus the rice. Instead I’ll have quinoa. I do however need to become more diligent in incorporating more fruits and veggies into my eating habits. Rather than eating them at meal times, I have grown to LOVE the spinach, kale and fruit smoothie mentioned somewhere in the “Food and Diet” section. 1 every morning does the trick for me–gets all the veggies and fruit I need for the day. AND it tastes GREAT!! Thanks again :) Tammy
