Mastering this move will shift your fitness to the next level and I want to see how you are getting on.
MY TOP TIP: TAKE AN OPTION
An alternative to doing the burpee is to try a few by just walking your legs back instead of jumping into plank. This will help you get your technique right before you add speed.

To help you get prepared for my workout, the LES MILLS team have put together some quick high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts.
WHAT IS TABATA?
Tabata is short blocks of work that challenge your body to its highest level followed by short recovery periods.
