Make burpees easier at Hyrox

Most athletes think they need better conditioning.

In reality…

They need better technique.

Here are my top 4 tips:

1. Get over them mentally.

The burpee broad jumps aren’t a punishment.

They’re just another station.

The more emotion you attach to them, the harder they feel.

Stay calm.
Stay consistent.
Keep moving.

2. Use the step-step technique.

Instead of hopping your feet to your hands…

Use your knee on the way forward, then go step-step-jump.

It’s smoother, more efficient, and saves energy over 80 meters.

3. Step your feet ALL the way to your hands.

This is the biggest mistake I see.

If you leave your feet 6–12 inches short every rep…

You can add 8–16 extra burpee broad jumps over the course of the station.

Don’t make the station longer than it already is.

4. Build your aerobic engine.

Burpee broad jumps happen halfway through the race.

If your aerobic fitness is better…

Your heart rate is lower.

Your breathing is under control.

And the station feels dramatically easier.

Burpees aren’t just about fitness.

They’re about mechanics, mindset, and efficiency.

Master those first.

Then let your fitness do the rest.
