Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Squat down and place your hands palms down on the floor in front of your feet. Lean forward, so your weight is on your hands, at the same time jumping your legs out behind you until they are fully extended. Your body should form a straight line with your arms fully extended in a high plank position. Then jump your feet forward to just behind your hands. In one explosive movement, push through your feet extending your knees and hips and jump up as high as you can and extending your arms overhead. Repeat for the required number of reps (or time).

Burpees raise your heart rate faster than almost anything else because they use your whole body. They anchor plenty of the sessions in our fat burning workouts for women.
