Here's an interesting fact: The first lady does burpees in her fitness program. What is a burpee, though, you might ask. A burpee is one of the best bodyweight conditioning exercises you could ever do. The movement initiates with one standing up. The person will then squat down, kick their legs back and assume the plank position, perform a pushup, return to the squat position, and then jump. If you're stuck in a hotel room with absolutely no equipment, a quick set of burpees will get your heart pumping as hard as any workout you've done. This movement makes a great addition to any exercise routine, just try a set of swings immediately followed by an equal number of burpees.
