Burpees for Boomers and Ballers 6

We’ve not forgot about the parents, I am sure you are all scratching at the door to get out and get some exercise. With gyms and parks closed we can be limited within our workouts, but we’ll be posting a number of workouts you can do in a very small space, and with very limited equipment needed. If you don’t have the equipment shown in the video, be creative and use alternative instruments, a few suggestions can be found in the video.

Workouts also appropriate for players, and can even be a family workout.
