Take on our Men's Fitness workout of the week, a new 52-part series to keep you inspired and challenged for 2015. We'll post a new workout every Friday and for an added incentive, we'll take on the workout too so you can see how your best time compares with a member of the MF team.
Workout of the Week #2
This WOW unites two of the most feared but also revered bodyweight exercises out there: the fat-torching burpee and the upper body strength-building pull-up.
Complete 50 burpee pull-ups as fast as you can
Burpee pull-up form guide:
Stand under a pull-up bar. Drop down onto your hands, jump your feet back until you're in the top of a press-up position, then jump your feet back to your hands. Now leap up to grab the bar and perform a pull-up. You can use momentum but just make sure your chin gets above the bar on each rep. Use your rest wisely.
Watch the video for the form guide and tips, take a deep breath and then time yourself from the first rep to the last as you give our second WOW your best shot. Post your best time in the comments section below.
