How to get better at burpees for Hyrox

1. Mentally get over it 
Most athletes decide they hate burpees before they even start. 
Stop fighting the station mentally and just settle into the work.

2. Improve your technique 
Don’t hop down into your pushup every rep. 
Use your knee on the way forward and go step-step-jump to stay smoother and save energy.

3. Improve your mobility 
If touching your toes is difficult, you probably have restrictions that make burpees way more inefficient and exhausting.

4. Get more fit 
Burpees happen in the middle of the race. 
If your aerobic fitness is better, your heart rate and breathing will be more controlled when you get there.

Most athletes think burpees are only about toughness.

They’re actually about:
Efficiency 
Fitness 
Movement quality 
And staying calm under fatigue.
