Do Burpees Actually Work? The Evidence Behind the Hated Exercise

from The PTCH Podcast · host Kathy Lynch, DPT and Jason Young, DC

Nobody likes burpees — including Royal H. Burpee, the physiologist who created them as a quick fitness test, not a punishment. Dr. Jason Young and Dr. Kathy Lynch break down where burpees came from, what the evidence says about their effectiveness, and how to modify them for shoulder, knee, or wrist issues.
