1. The Burpee-Pull Up
Who doesn’t love burpees? Who also doesn’t love pull ups? Combine the two and what do you have – other than something you hope never comes up in a WOD?
Start this move with a standard burpee – chest and thighs to the floor, then stand back up. Instead of finishing it with the usual jump-and-clap-behind-the-head combo, at this point you’re going to jump onto a pull up bar and complete one strict pull up.
Don’t have pull ups yet? You can scale that part of the movement to a jumping pull up from the floor or a box, or substitute a TRX row if you need to scale it further. Bingo.
2. Bar Touch Burpee
Burpees involve a jump, we all know that – so why not add an extra bit of a challenge by setting a 7-9ft target (depending on your height) to touch at the end of each burpee? If you’re in a gym with a rig, these bars are the perfect height.
