Hey Chicks,<\/p>\n
Happy Wednesday!\u00a0 I have been so pumped lately that the weather is getting warmer in Toronto and we are on countdown to our outdoor bootcamps on June 4th<\/a>(I have been itching to hit the hills..sorry chicks;).<\/p>\n But while the outdoors will give us alot of awesome new elements to spice up your workouts, there is one exercise that is a staple of bootcamp<\/strong> (and all exercise routines) that can not abandoned not matter where we head…THE BEAUTIFUL BURPEE!<\/strong> Now I know you probably just cringed a little but the burpee is my most loved exercise<\/strong> for the following reasons:<\/p>\n 1. It is a total body exercise<\/strong> (ie works tons of muscles so you get more calorie burn and toning in this exercise)<\/p>\n 2. It is a strength training move AND an aerobic \/ cardio exercise <\/strong>(more bang for your buck!)<\/p>\n 3.\u00a0 You can do it anywhere! <\/strong> Indoors, outdoors, hotel rooms, in your office, at the bus stop (Well maybe that is a little overzealous:)…just find some space and you can get a killer workout<\/p>\n 4. There are so many variations! <\/strong>Basic burpees, Knee up Burpees, sleeping Chick Burpees – there are so many and I am going to be introducing some of my faves to you over the next while<\/p>\n 5. They are ALWAYS challenging. <\/strong>Whether you are fitness virgin or a seasoned vet, burpees are always challenging as long as you make sure you are pushing yourself to your 9 out of 10 <\/a>and continue to change them as you get stronger.<\/p>\n So now more writing…let me show you 3 of my fave burpees in action<\/strong> for you to try at home!<\/p>\nTOP 5 REASONS WHY HEAD CHICK LAURA LOVES BURPEES<\/h3>\n
