Burpees?

Strange name for a workout...don't you think? It's technically an exercise, but with all its components it can be a workout all its own. So what is it? This YouTube video gives a good demonstration. This is a standard burpee. There is also a variation with a pushup shown here. The kind I do is the pushup kind with a tuck jump at the end instead of a regular jump.

I recently started doing these. (I feel awesome if I can do 10...) They killed me more than my martial arts training. I think I'm going to stick with these as a cardio workout from now on. If my legs weren't killing me, I would be at the midnight release for Assassin's Creed Revelations...
