BEAR Complex, Pukie Brewster, Dubs

Burpees, when done with the Freestyle Connection method (linked video below), should be considered cardio as it remains low-powered, but rhythmic and repeatable for a long period of time.

[1.] straight legs, bend over, [2.] sprawl back to lay down, [3.] pushup to arch (squeeze butt to protect low back), [4.] jumping good morning, [5.] clap overhead, [6.] repeat

Alternatively you can do a burpee by sprawling hard, absorbing the drop, immediately staying tight for a quick pushup, kicking the feet back up, and jumping vertical while clapping overhead. This requires a strong midline and can tax the upper-body pushing muscles sooner than the other method.
