Common Burpee Mistakes
Although the above steps may seem simple to some of you, everyone needs to practice burpees several times to get it right.
In case you don’t have the help of a personal trainer, you should be aware that there are some common mistakes made by first-time burpee performers.
One such mistake is arching your lower back excessively as you lower your body into a pushup position. You should also avoid bending forward as you push up and try not to land on your heels.
You should always keep in mind that burpees are not an exercise for beginners because you need a strong upper body and core to do them safely.
