Half Squat Burpees

Half squat burpees are a full-body conditioning exercise where you drop into a plank, touch the ground with your chest and return to a low squat position, and hold that squat instead of standing upright or jumping. This variation increases time under tension for the legs, especially the quads and glutes, while still challenging the core and upper body. It’s a powerful movement for building muscular endurance, improving metabolic conditioning, and developing explosive lower-body strength without high-impact jumping.
