Burpee broad jumps

The standard to brief

Each rep is a burpee with chest and thighs touching the floor, followed by a two-footed jump forward with a two-footed landing. The next burpee starts from where the feet landed; hands go down in front of the feet, not behind.

Common no-reps

• Chest or thighs not touching the floor at the bottom of the burpee.
• Stepping or shuffling forward between the landing and the next burpee (hands placed ahead of the toes).
• Jumping off one foot or landing on one foot.

Judging notes

• A lane judge walks alongside, slightly behind the athlete, to see both the chest touch and the foot position.
• Give one warning for creeping forward, then make the athlete repeat the rep from where the feet were.
• The leg ends when both feet land on or past the finish line.

Setting it up in a gym

1. Lay the lanes on a smooth surface — athletes put their chest on it hundreds of times.
2. Mark distance boards every 10 m so athletes and the crowd can see progress.

Equipment

• Lane tape
• Distance markers every 10 m
• Mop or towel for sweat on the floor

Scaling for beginners

Halve the distance, or allow a step-back burpee for a beginner division.
