SINGLE LEG BURPEE
In this modification of the traditional burpee, you raise one leg throughout the plank and push-up phase of the exercise. The increased load challenges your abdominals, lower back, and stabilizing leg.

With your feet hip width apart, bend your knees and bring your hands to the floor just in front of your feet.
Hop your feet back into a plank position with one leg lifted off the floor to shoulder height.
Perform one push-up with your core engaged and leg elevated.
Lower the leg and jump your feet back to your hands, shifting your weight into the heels and lifting your chest.
Jump up from the crouched position and reach overhead with your hands.
Land softly with a slight bend at your knees, hips, and ankles. Repeat, alternating the elevated leg with each rep.
Challenge
For added challenge, substitute the regular push-up with a triceps push-up, keeping your elbows tight to your rib cage.
