6 Intense Burpee Workouts You Should Do For Maximum Impact

#4 Dumbbell Burpee

Holding dumbbells while performing the burpee is very effective in toning the biceps, triceps and the deltoid muscles found in the shoulders.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand straight with feet positioned shoulder-width apart, and place your arms on the side, parallel to the body. Place the dumbbells underneath the arms.

Step 2: Squat and transition yourself into a plank position; however, grab the dumbbells instead of placing your palms on the floor.

Step 3: Perform one push-up and bring your legs towards the chest. Jump upwards and lift the dumbbells off the floor.

Step 4: Pause for a second and prepare yourself for the next rep.

Perform the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.

Important tip: Exercise caution while lifting the dumbbells off the floor as an improper form could lead to a serious rotator cuff injury.
