This one has seen a big comeback in the past few years. No. It’s not fun. Yes. It’s a fantastic exercise. Yes. You should be doing this. No. I don’t want to hear it. Just go!
Reach down and place your hands on the floor just to the outsides of your feet. KICK your legs out behind you so fly into a pushup position. While your legs are shooting back, allow your elbows to bend so that by the time your feet hit the ground your chest touches simultaneously. Now, while performing a pushup (with as much force as possible!), push down into the ground with your toes, so that while the chest is still coming up, you’ve launched your knees back up towards your chest. You should end up in a deep squatting position, hands off the ground, feet planted flat on the ground. Explode up into the air as high as you can. When your feet touch down again, move right back into the next one. No stopping no resting. Breathe later!
That's a flying burpee. A traveling burpee is simply when you travel forward as opposed to straight up when you jump. So it becomes something of a frog hop right into the next burpee. Set yourself a distance goal. Try to travel the length of your group fitness studio and see how you feel.
Makes for a great active recovery from a more heavily loaded movement.
