30 Day Burpee Challenge to Get Lean and Fast w/ PDF

30 Day Burpee Challenge

A burpee is a fun and effective exercise that works throughout the body, elevates your heart rate, torches plenty of calories, and helps you shape your physique.

Taking on a burpee challenge is a great way to increase your endurance, strengthen muscles, and promote weight loss.

In this article, I’ve designed an easy-to-follow 30 day burpee challenge routine for everyone who wants to take their burpee numbers to the next level.

Whether you’re a male or female, exercise at home or in the gym, you can try this burpee challenge for one month to improve your athletic fitness and body composition.

30 Day Burpee Challenge to Get Shredded

burpee challenge 30 day

This program involves performing four burpee variations: a half-burpee, a no-jump burpee, a no-pushup burpee, and a full burpee. The combination of these variations makes a burpee challenge interesting and effective.

Burpee Exercise Instructions

Half Burpee

A burpee involves going into a plank position and then returning to the start. To perform this variation, stand upright with your arms straight at your sides. Lean your torso forward and kick your leg back to land into a plank position. Reverse the movement to stand back.

No-Jump Burpee

The no-jump burpee involves a half-burpee with a pushup. People who feel jumping makes them tire quickly can use this exercise to enhance their endurance and cardiovascular fitness before doing full burpees.

No-Push Burpee

A no-push burpee involves a half-burpee with a jump. It is slightly challenging and will torch more calories than half and no-jump burpees. It is also effective for people who find it difficult to perform push-ups.

Full Burpee


A full burpee involves four different movements: plank, push-up, squat, and jump.1 Polevoy, Georgiy et al. “The Influence of Burpee on Endurance and Short-Term Memory of Adolescents.” International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health vol. 19,18 11778. 18 Sep. 2022, doi:10.3390/ijerph191811778 It works on almost the entire body and provides more positive psychological responses than sprinting and high-intensity interval training.2 Mayr Ojeda E, Castro FAS, Reich M, Astorino TA, Benítez-Flores S. Burpee Interval Training Is Associated With a More Favorable Affective Valence and Psychological Response Than Traditional High-Intensity Exercise.
