TOP TIP: BURPEES enable you to run faster

Running ambassador YK Chai decided to BURPEE-up her workouts. Some fitness trainers attest that the burpee trains virtually every muscle in your body—including your shoulders, chest, abs, quads, inner thighs, butt, and triceps.

Besides, it sets your heart pumping for awesome calorie-torching, muscle-building benefits too! It will help build your lung capacity which will allow you to run faster after this lockdown. So, start adding burpees to your day!
