Sprawls

The sprawl is very basically a hyped up version of the burpee, almost like a burpee on steroids. It is a full body exercise that will work as many muscle groups as possible in a single exercise. Sprawls will burn calories while shaping and toning both your upper and lower body. It takes the traditional burpee to the next level by having your chest touch the ground, followed by a push up to the high plank position as you continue through the movement to complete the exercise.
