This is something i said to my mother, she recently started exercise classes so i made her do a simple test, lay on the ground and get up as fast as you can, if you cant do it thats what you should focus on.
being in such an excellent shape and conveying the content perfectly would require much more than that... Just curious, would you be able to say that comment to his face? :)
I’ve never been more inspired to try a new exercise in my life. You can EASILY tell the passion this man has in wanting the best out of everyone. He wants to share what he found amazing to others. I’m fully convinced I’ll see massive results if I can nail this down
If you are truely wanting a full body workout version of this exercise then here is a suggestion that will freak your body out and produce results quicker and harder.....if you truely have the will to do so as you claim. As you finish the push up and bring/pull your legs and feet up towards and under your chest for the standing up position. Before you stand up straight, push up from the squatted position so that you jump upward of the ground as you reach the fully standing position. This works your whole body more bit is still the "b#tch" easy version of the full burpee. If you want the best and hardest workout/outcome for results of fitness/muscle toning for this exercise then lift your knees up as high as you can on the jump. You can do many of these "Navy Seal" burpees but you will do far less of the ones I just explained and only once have you tried both till you max out will you comprehend. Either way, any exercise that you do to improve your health/life is admirable and the rewards are huge regardless.
Yea I've got to say he has a way about him that makes me want to do it ....300lbs at least 100 is over weight 6 4 I've always been big but man I know these would strip that fat off
@@shannonjaensch3705 more intense maybe but less safe and harder to do consistently. I hear you but adding the jump is more risk than reward at a beginner level. Just my opinion
Nice to hear someone else is focusing on maintaining physique using the smallest unit of time. I'm almost 60, heart rate 40bpm, love my cardio, but love to sculpt, using minimal amount of equipment, and reducing complexity, and time taken to get results. Beautiful explanation. I subscribed. Go dads!
I have been doing 200 no push up burpees and then doing 200 push ups for the past 7 years. I do it almost everyday. I just turned 60 and have been told this might be too much, but I feel great. I throw in other things with it, but the 200 and 200 is my core workout.
started doing them after watching your vid 3 weeks ago. usually on my "off days" started with 30 in 20 minutes, now I am at 45! pushups, no clue why, are allways my problem and also my limit on this. This increase feels really great! Thanks a lot!
These are the kinds of videos you rarely find anymore. Straight to the point with only the intent of sharing useful tips. I absolutely loved it, thanks :)
This just hit my feed today, excellent breakdown. As a 56 year old father of two teenagers, I started, working out again 3 weeks ago. I will certainly replay this later today at home and take a closer look at your channel. Thank you 🙏💪
This is legit! I added this to my workout yesterday, only did 30 and I’m a hurting unit today lol took a few to find the rhythm but once ya get it it’s a fantastic workout
Dude these are serious. I like the lower ab part of this workout in particular. Feels like it should be good for the core strength you need for a good deadlift. An antidote to a desk job.
In the early 80's, going thru Navy Search and Rescue swimmer school, we did an 8 count body builder. At the 5 count, we did a "jack split" with our legs in the plank position. 6 was a recovery to a standard plank, 7 was a squat with the hands touching the ground, and 8 was an explosive jump with hands reaching up and landing in a standing position ready for the next rep.
yep , lots of fun alterations , to include clapping pushups front/back and high knee jumps or backflips in the up-phase of the routine , burpees/barfees always a great way to get sweaty XD
Yes sir 1981 boot camp San Diego, we did 8 count bodybuilding exercises, and when you mess up and have to go to "Short tour" at 3am the instructors would get creative with the bodybuilding exercise.
@@Wungun_Eniguey Just increase gradually overtime. More reps in less time. Higher intensity. I got up to 2500 jump ropes a day in the spring and summer two years ago and when I started I could barely do 40 without feeling like I was gonna die from shortness of breath. I started with 5 squat thrusts and worked my way up to 100 but that's just brutal. I stick to like 30-50 nowadays. Planking's planking.
Good luck on this channel. I really want to see you hit your first 1k then 10k all the way to 100k. The iron inspired you and now you’re inspiring others. Way to go brother. Thanks!
I've spent most of my life in fitness training and martial arts, I am 58. I fell off for 7 years, and have only been easing back in the last couple of months. I watched this video the other day. I knew about burpees but not this variation. Just the down kick back, legs forward and back up. I could barely do 10 of these in a row at the gym today... This is definitely going to be my pre-stretch warm up from now on.
Hey James, I am 33 and 7 years ago moved from my home. I was doing martial arts 4, sometimes 5 or 6 times a week and was in the best shape of my life.... Giving that up in moving to a new home I am now in the worst shape of my life lol. I have recently been trying to motivate myself to get there again, but sometimes it seems futile; I'm not getting any younger and I wonder of it's possible at all. Your comment was inspiring!
Stunning, sir! I got so into I did it for a solid 30 times! I’m doing this religiously from now on. Both before and after my archery practice! Thank you very much for a wonderful lesson!
make sure to if youre not doing them already atleast add in some body weight squats or some version of dumbbell squats, should always train your lower body!
I am Navy, joined in 2000. We also do 8 count bodybuilders. Same basic moves you did there but instead of the knee raise, its a leg jump from wide back to narrow then to the lower position (9) and then standing ( that would be 7 and 8 in the bodybuilder ). Just a variation for more dynamics.. and don't forget to hold half way up on that push up sometimes too, they loved to do that to us lol. Hooyah Navy
These are no joke, I do 100 twice a week, usually 3-4 days apart, Mixed in with my other work outs. I have seen better results doing this the past 3 months then I have in 7 years of doing the traditional weightlifting routine.
The regular Navy used a variation of this called "8-Count Body Builders". Basically went like this: 1 - Hands on the ground, arms straight. 2 - Feet back (extended-arm plank position). 3 - Face to the ground. 4 - Push-up. 5 - Knees to chest. 6 - Feet back (extended-arm plank position). 7 - Knees to chest, feet under knees. 8 - Standing position. That would conclude one rep.
Best step-by-step explanation I've seen. Some guys rush through and it's hard to see the form. You showed everything and explained what was going on. Thanks for this! Subbed!
Ive been doing these for years. One of my main movements I do pretty much daily. This video was in my feed & it was such a great instructional video for a beginner I wanted to give it a nice comment👍🏼
This is a great exercise, tough to do well, and for many reps but over time you will see results. For me, doing it correctly is far more important than doing bad reps
Great video - you inspired me to give this a go and I started doing regular burpees and then moving on to navy seals since the beginning of the year and I would say I'm now fitter than I've been in my life!
How about the Navy SEAL hopelessly lost on an Army land nav course? That's a good way to make what's normally a pretty straightforward exercise into a grueling endurance grind.
60 years ago this exercise was part of my track team warmup and we called it the squat thrust with one or two or how many push-ups are chosen to do! It is a great head to toe exercise!
@@classicsciencefictionhorro1665 sweet. I didn't know if all the military did them. My father is a LiteBird and i mostly just know Corps stuff. Thank you for your service to our great country. I do appreciate it. 👍🙏
1. Fold forward, hands to the ground 2. Feet out to plank position 3. Chest to ground 4. Push up, right knee to chest 5. Chest to ground 6. Push up, left knee to chest 7. Chest to ground 8. Push up to plank position 9. Jump feet towards hands 10. Stand up straight, fists to hips Repeat
68 yr old woman here. I incorporated this movement i to my morning calisthenics and wow! Huge difference in over strength but especially upper body. I get compliments on my upper arms regularly and the "what is your secret workout,?" too. When I say Seal Burpees...that's it, jaws drop! Thank you so much!
I love your channel.. thank you! It is because of a knee injury I found you.. wanted to work out while I wait for a knee op.. I honestly wish i found you years ago.. this burpee is tough but incredible results!!
My brother is a Marine. I remember him talking about “ self destructs” “ suicide “ or “ kill yourself “. What uou say is absolutely true. Because the quoted phrases used have similar movements, with added PT. A series of these movements completed is counted as 1 Rep. you did this until failure of course. This type of training got you in good shape and form.
I do watch a lot of prison channels. Another explanation I heard is they hit their abs so as to conditions their body to take punches to the stomach. Because of gang violence in prison they always got to be in top condition so they do a lot of burpees
Brother I just did 50 at 19:30 minutes. All I can say this routine is incredible. I feel muscles I have never felt before. I am gonna make or try to make this an every day or every other day workout. I’m sure it will burn some fat. Thank you for sharing God bless you.
I have to praise you on your fantastic tutorials. Methodical and concise and very easy to follow! I've done my first ever batch of Navy Seals, day 2 of your Busy dad program. I only managed to get 16, but I just focused on form and know that the reps will come. They are humbling!
@@busydadtraining Thanks very much 🙂. I'm adding pullups/chinups on afterwards and so far I'm getting a great full body pump 👍. Keep the content coming!
We did something similar in the Marines. I remember modifying mine later in life with 50lb weights in each hand excluding the jumping up part but adding the raising of the 50lb weights above my head simultaneously which marked the completion of 1 rep. Of course that was after my 20 minute warm up, sub 35 min 5 mile run and 1.5 hr weight lifting session. 15 yrs later after my back injury and no working out I can still roll up a frying pan with my bare hands. So, the strength you gain stays with you for a long time.
That's a really cool flow of movements. It's like a pushup, single high knee hold, pushup, single high knee hold, burpee. If done at speed for any decent length of time, that'll be a great addition to any conditioning workout.
I got into burpees for the first time during lockdown and appreciated quickly how difficult they were to an unfit dad, and what an amazing workout they are. I struggled with the navy seals' form and this is a massive help thank you. I feel like at 42 I'm much fitter than in my 30s doing this kind of thing and the weight loss, muscle gain and cardio ability from burpees alone is amazing. I'll crack these navy seals, cheers.
Awesome video man, I surprised we didn't do these in the Army only thing similar was the 8 count push-up. I'm going to start implementing these into my core/cardio workouts in the morning. Thanks a bunch.
Sir I see you are in phenomenal shape ! I will learn these ! I'm 64 and in good shape myself not like you but good shape I think these will help me improve thank you !
Great explanation and demonstration. I've never seen this variation of a burpee before but am going to incorporate it into my workouts, with the addition of a tuck jump at the end as the final (11th) movement just to hit the legs a bit more too.
This is really advanced, thank you for sharing!! I am starting with the traditional burpees, but next year I will incorporate this technique. It's definitely beyond my fitness level right now. I did 25 and I'm almost passed out...
Wow! That is a complete exercise. I have done burpees before but never as comprehensive as that. Thank you for keeping it simple! Will be 70 soon, so I welcome new routines to keep boredom at bay.
Hey Busy Dad, thank you for your content, It Is helping me a lot. I have been doing navy seals for a couple of weeks, when I do the climbers I feel the muscles in my lower back (coccyx) activating. After say like 30 reps it gets quite sore. In your experience is this normal? (I believe my form is quite correct After checking in a mirror). Hope you will share your opinion, keep doing what you're doing!
Thank you for this breakdown! I saw this movement in another video but didn't get around to asking for the name. I'm glad I came across your video. Subscribed!
ok i feel the need to analysis: it’s very efficient always incorporating multiple powerful movements with core stabilization. the fists to the hips at the end helps keep you pushimg forward instinctively. was skeptical at first but i concur it’s a game changer, a life changing exercise
the reason these are not used much is because transition from plank to squatting position generally involves landing on your feet with a little bit of compressive force on a flexed lumbar, and people like to minimize use of movements that invite cumulative lower back degeneration.
i agree, I'm 55 and have been doing these for about a year, it works. i do mountain climbers on the pushup, knee to opposite shoulder, good stuff. can also add a jump on the stand up. it's all good!! peace.
