burpee

With schedules busier than ever these days, all too many people use their lack of time as an excuse to forgo the gym.  But with workouts that require very little time (but lots of effort) there is simply no excuse not to get a short power workout in.

Despite the somewhat disturbing name, burpees are one of those great exercises that work a lot of things at once and makes for a great workout. In fact the exercise was designed to be part of a physical fitness test that measure coordination, agility, and endurance.
