In Closing

Improper form reduces the effectiveness of the training and can put your body into compromising positions where an injury is more likely to occur.

Jump Tuck Burpees are a great way to burn a lot of calories in a short period.

To burn the most fat, I recommend using it with H.I.I.T. training. You can do this by performing the exercise for a set time duration.

10 seconds 20 seconds or whatever you choose just make sure to focus on increasing the length or number(repetitions) you do them from week to week.

You also need a set time rest period say 30 seconds; You will keep your break times consistent each week. You should only be increasing the amount of time you a doing the exercise or the number of rounds(sets).

We also offer a Free Online H.I.I.T. Timer that you can use to set the durations and number of rounds(sets) you are going to do.
