Now do burpees. but instead of jumping up, when you come up do a backflip.
It works your arms legs and abbs (abbs from the backflip ^_-)

the burpee includes the pushup, you drop to the ground push up (arms) I like to ground kong when I come up (skill :P) But i cant flip yet, but I will soon (going to gym soon, they said they will show me. I told them I do parkour/freerunning, seeing it is an all gymnast school, they are doubting my flexability/strenth...shame on them...but wait till I show them what I can do ^_^ maby they will let me teach the kids there, that would be cool...:P)

Error:  backflip burpees are freerunning, definitely not parkour.

two of my friends learned backflips in a day :/ i tried them, did a few and landed on feet/hands, then i saw the ceiling and untucked half through and landed on my head! it was on a matress, if it was on the ground i probably would have broken my neck, im thankful i didnt. they got a vid of it too :(
