It targets various muscle groups including the legs, core, chest, and shoulders. Additionally, the inclusion of the medicine ball helps to improve grip strength and adds a different dimension to the classic burpee movement. The medicine ball burpee can be a high-intensity exercise, and it&#8217;s essential to maintain proper form throughout to avoid injury.<\/p><div class=\"pscsite-billboard-ad-in-content\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"pscsite-3245234033\"><div data-cfpa=\"12108\" data-cfpw=\"12108\" id=\"pscsite-1273362327\"><a data-bid=\"1\" data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/prepstrengthcoach.com\/supplier-partner-connect\/12108\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"notrack\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Speedster950x250Final5\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/prepstrengthcoach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Speedster950x250Final5.gif?fit=950%2C250&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"  width=\"950\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\">;new advadsCfpAd( 12108 );<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Here\u2019s how you perform a medicine ball burpee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/prepstrengthcoach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/medicine-ball-burpee.jpg?resize=780%2C1024&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8847\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/prepstrengthcoach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/medicine-ball-burpee.jpg?resize=780%2C1024&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 780w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/prepstrengthcoach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/medicine-ball-burpee.jpg?resize=229%2C300&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 229w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/prepstrengthcoach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/medicine-ball-burpee.jpg?resize=768%2C1008&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/prepstrengthcoach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/medicine-ball-burpee.jpg?w=950&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 950w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fundamentals\">Fundamentals<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Capability to perform a bodyweight burpee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Core stability and capability to perform a squat with full range of motion, driving through the balls of the feet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-movement\">Movement<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Begin in a standing position, with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a medicine ball at chest level with your hands on either side.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Explosively descend into a squat position, plant the medicine ball on the ground in front of your feet, and thrust your legs back to a plank\/push-up position.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Return your legs to a squat position while keeping the medicine ball planted on the ground.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Explosively jump upward, straightening your legs and reaching high with the medicine ball.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Return to the starting position.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions or for the desired length of time.<a href=\"https:\/\/us.humankinetics.com\/blogs\/excerpt\/tagged\/product-metabolic-training\"><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><em>This article was excerpted, in part, from <\/em><a href=\"\/\/us.humankinetics.com\/products\/metabolic-training\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Metabolic Training<\/a><em><a href=\"\/\/us.humankinetics.com\/products\/metabolic-training\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> by John F.
