The burpee is a calisthenic exercise used to achieve total body muscular endurance. This exercise will develop strength, explosive power, and anaerobic endurance. Burpees are basically combination of a squat, pushup, and vertical leap. The burpee is a exercise that requires no special equipment.

Begin in a standing position. Squat down and touch your hands to the floor. Kick your legs backward so that they are fully extended. As your legs move to extension, perform a push-up. As you push up, bring your knees to your chest. Finally, jump into the air as high as possible. As you jump reach up with your hands. Perform the exercise quickly.

If you want to be a Better athlete A NCAA Division 1 Athlete, or even go pro, shouldn’t you start training like one? Of course you should!

“Periodization is breaking up your training program into different patterns, and groups that will not allow for your body to adapt to your training and have plateauing or degrading results!”

Performing the right speed training drills can make a major difference in your speed and quickness out on the field or court The problem that I often see with the dedicated and motivated athletes is the speed drills they perform during training are what we like to call “slow drills”. They’re called “slow drills” because they use really short rest times between sprints, making every speed drill they perform a little bit slower than the last.

Coaches and trainers will have their athletes perform a ton of sprints for hundreds and hundreds of yards, often making their athletes puke in the process, and they expect that type of military-type training will make their players faster.

The truth is that quality is much more important than quantity when it comes to developing blazing speed it would be better to focus on this quality over quantity in your speed training sessions.

Here’s a really good sample speed
