Short answer: Squat, place your hands down, step or jump to a plank, perform one push-up, return the feet forward and stand or jump. Scale by stepping, using an incline or removing the jump.
Step-by-step form
Plant the hands before moving the feet, reach a stable plank, complete a full push-up and brace before returning forward. Land softly if you jump.
Burpee versus burpee push-up
Some burpees use a chest-to-floor drop without a distinct strict push-up. A burpee push-up deliberately includes one controlled repetition.
Regressions
Step back and forward, use hands on a bench or perform a squat-to-incline push-up. Reduce speed before sacrificing alignment.
Workout ideas
Try 5 rounds of 5 reps with one minute rest, or alternate 6 burpee push-ups with 12 squats. Keep the push-up count honest.
Make the push-up inside every burpee an attack
RepSaga gives the pressing portion a visible RPG payoff while your conditioning session handles the rest.
Frequently asked
Do all burpees include a push-up?
No. Definitions vary; a burpee push-up explicitly includes a controlled press.
Are burpee push-ups good for beginners?
They can be scaled with stepping and an incline, but beginners should learn each component first.
