Burpee with Push-up

How to do the burpee with push-up, the muscles it works, and the mistakes to avoid. Pulled straight from the Kovo app's exercise library.

Perform a basic burpee, but add a push-up when in the plank position before jumping feet back to hands.

1Feel your whole body working as you squat, kick back, perform a push-up, and jump up
2Engage your core to maintain plank during the push-up phase
3Drive through your legs to explode up at the end

Avoid letting your hips sag during the push-up; maintain form
Don't skip the full range of motion; ensure chest touches the ground in the push-up
Avoid landing flat-footed on the jump; land softly and absorb impact

The burpee with push-up works the quads, glutes, calves, upper abs, hamstrings, and front delts.
