How to do it

Start standing, then drop into a squat, place your hands down, and kick your feet back into a plank. Reverse the movement to return to your feet, then explode upward into a star jump, spreading your arms and legs wide in the air. Land softly and immediately flow into the next rep, performing two star jumps per burpee.

  1. 1Drive explosively through your legs on every jump
  2. 2Brace your core as you snap from plank back to your feet
  3. 3Land soft through the knees and hips to absorb the impact

Common mistakes

  • Do not let your hips sag in the plank position
  • Avoid landing with stiff, locked knees
  • Do not rush so much that your form collapses
