Note that we didn&#8217;t say quickly. If you concentrate only on quickness, however you&#8217;re not hitting efficient positions, you will leak and waste energy. As a default, you won&#8217;t get up as quickly as you would like to. And if you&#8217;re wasting a tonne of energy on each rep, it&#8217;ll slow you down and tire you out faster as you pile up reps and work time.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ensure That You Keep A Wide Base<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Always think about \u2018feet wide\u2019 when performing burpees and at least shoulder-distance apart at all times. Basically, you want your feet always at a width from which you are able to jump. So when you drop your torso to the floor, and you&#8217;re in that plank, they are wide. And when you leap your feet back towards your hands, they&#8217;re wide, as well. Do this, and when it&#8217;s time to jump, you won&#8217;t have to waste any time getting into the best position to jump as you&#8217;re already there.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/trifocusfitnessacademy.co.za\/contact-us\/\"><strong>Contact Trifocus Fitness Academy<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Would you like to become a master exercise trainer?
