Attention Runners, here is just one benefit of a burpee: Building Endurance Burpees are remarkably effective for increasing your cardio endurance and your muscular endurance. Recommended particularly for distance runners, burpees recruit a very high number of fast-twitch muscles fibers. Training those fibers allows the athlete to keep on going, whereas plain running training doesnt recruit anywhere near the same number of fibers -- and so inhibits performance. Burpees are a combination of resistance and cardio work, meaning that they trigger both aerobic and anaerobic responses from the body, which is why theyre so effective for increasing your workout capacity.
