Obstacle Course Racing athlete, Mike Jiang demonstrates how explosive burpees can be done. He combines burpees with lunges, squats, and jumps to form a full-body workout. His dynamic routine not only works most major muscle groups, but it also improves cardiovascular health. Since Jiang’s routine involves a lot of dynamic movements, make sure to wear clothing that doesn’t restrict mobility, wear snug training shoes, and perform the exercises on a stable, non-slippery surface.

If you’re looking for a cardio buddy, here’s fitness instructor Lexi Noval to guide you through a cardio with a twist! The OCR athlete amps up the workout with resistance bands. Similar to weights, these nifty tools provide external resistance that your muscles have to fight against, leveling up otherwise simple moves. You’ll feel the difference as you follow Noval’s lunges, push-ups, squats, and burpees, all amped up with resistance bands. As with Jiang’s routine, Noval’s also involves dynamic movements, so wear comfortable workout gear and make sure your exercise space is safe.
