Description
The burpee is a full-body exercise that when performed correctly and safely is extremely beneficial for improving cardiovascular endurance and fat-loss. There are so many benefits one receives from the burpee:
Cardio
Fat-loss
Strength
Flexibility
Speed
Mental toughness
Coordination
And so much more.
This course will teach anyone, literally anyone, from being sedentary to being able to perform the most basic form of the burpee and how to progress through safe steps. If you want to use the burpee in your training yourself or want to learn how to teach others, this course is for you. If you want to learn more advanced and plenty of burpee variations, then this course is for you.
Like with any exercise, but especially the burpee, when not performed correctly it can be dangerous and damaging to the lower back, knees, etc. In this online course, I will guide you step-by-step in building up your knowledge, strength, and ability to perform the burpee.
Some might look at the burpee and go "that's easy" but there is a difference between just having a go at an exercise or receiving detailed instructions from someone with over two decades of experience and having taught thousands of people across the world.
The first-hand experience, teaching others, and seeing others in action has taught me how to adjust, teach, build-up, and keep the burpee safe.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone wanting to increase their overall fitness
- Anyone looking for one of the best cardio exercises
- Anyone who has been performing the burpee but experienced pain and discomfort

Hello, my name is Taco Fleur, and I'm a Cavemantraining Certified Trainer, Russian Girevoy Sport Institute Kettlebell Coach, IKFF Certified Kettlebell Trainer, Kettlebell Level 1 + 2 Trainer, Kettlebell Science and Application, HardstyleFit Kettlebell Instructor, CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, MMA Conditioning Level 1, MMA Fitness Level 1 + 2, Punchfit Trainer and Plyometrics Trainer Certified, with a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I have owned and set-up 3 functional kettlebell gyms in Australia and Vietnam, and lived in the Netherlands, Australia, Vietnam and Thailand. I’m currently living in Spain.
The first thing I'd like you to know about me is that I do not know everything, I don't pretend to know everything, and I never will. I'm on a path of life-long learning. I believe there is always something to learn from someone, no matter who they are. I've been physically active since the day I arrived on this earth in 1973. I got serious about training in 1999, touched a kettlebell for the first time in 2004, and got serious about kettlebell training in 2009. I'm here to do what I love most, and that is to share my knowledge with the world.
Some of my personal bests are 1-hour of more than 1,000 unbroken clean and jerks with a 16kg kettlebell, 400 burpees performed within one hour; 500 kettlebell snatches, 500 swings and 500 double-unders completed in one session; 250 alternating dead clean and presses in one session with 20kg; 200 pull-ups in one session; 200 unbroken kettlebell swings with a 28kg; most kettlebell swings completed in one session with a 28kg (1,501); most total kettlebell swings done in 28 days with a 28kg (11,111); windmill with a 40kg kettlebell; lugged a kettlebell up a 1,184m mountain; 160kg dead lift; 250 alternating dead clean and presses in one session with 20kg; 100 snatches on sand with a 24kg kettlebell, 85kg Olympic Squat Snatch. I mention these PBs not to boast but to demonstrate that I have a good understanding of technique and movement across different areas.
My own training and goals are geared around GPP (General Physical Preparedness) which involves kettlebell training, calisthenics, and CrossFit. I like high-volume reps but also like greasing the groove now and again. My main goals are to remains as agile as possible, remaining mobile, training in as many planes of movements as possible, and learning as many different exercise combinations and movements as possible while having fun and enjoying Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I'm no Arnold Schwarzenegger and never will be, but strength is not solely defined by physical appearance and huge bulging muscles.
