Burpees can make your life MISERABLE or TOLERABLE… It all depends on how you hold onto your dumbbells! If you hold those weights at your sides, you’re in for a bad time. It makes it virtually impossible to keep a neutral spine and squat down and up from the ground safely. But with the weights BETWEEN your legs? It makes squatting down NO PROBLEM, helping you keep a neutral spine, feel more athletic, and keep the exercise safer! This is the superior way to do dumbbell burpees… give it a shot!
