Hmm, I like everything about his burpee except one. I when I kick back to a pushup position, I keep myself UP, so I actually DO a pushup. His basically lets gravity do all the work of going completely down. His might be the 'proper' way of doing a burpee, but try to actually do a proper pushup. It'll be alot harder.
@motifman22 Really?? Yes really. Chucks have flat, hard soles that don't compress when you start adding weight. I like my running shoes for running, but back when I was putting a hundred pounds over my head, with nothing but my own body controlling the weight, I don't want the soles of my shoes compressing and shifting my balance as I get that weight over me.
The common mistakes section is very helpful... however, I'm still not sure I can even do one of these, much less 10 or 12 like I'm supposed to be doing in this stupid work out video. I am an uncoordinated mess!
very informative, thank you!

My coach makes us run in place, squatting, as fast as we can, then we do this, and go back to running
Basketball too, nothing better than doing these on a hard dirty floor

Okay...I had no idea that people were calling old-school squat thrusts "burpees" now.

In a proper burpee does the bottom of the push-up position touch the ground?

Good video. I wasn't kicking out to the bottom of the pushup position so thanks for the form correction. Now it's time to kick my ass even harder!

This is a very good explanation of the Burpee. Most videos show either a squat thrust or a squat thrust with a pushup.
