Terminology
Burpees: Begin with a standing jump. Crouch down and jump out your feet behind you into a push-up position. Once you’re in position, jump your feet forwards back to crouching, jump up, repeat at speed.
High knees: Lift those knees high as you walk or run.
Mountain climbers: begin in a push-up position, then bring your knees up to your chest quickly in a kind of jogging motion. Similar to doing high knees, but you’re on your hands.
