Bodyweight

Sprawl

Burpee without the push-up. From standing, you drop into a squat, kick your feet back into a prone position, and pop straight back up to standing. Faster than a burpee, with no jump at the end.

How to do the Sprawl, step by step

  1. From standing, place your hands in front of your feet.
  2. Jump your feet back, hips toward the floor.
  3. Jump your feet back up to your hands.
  4. Stand up; the rep is done when you're standing.

Common mistakes and how to fix them

  • Rounded back as you standlift your chest.
  • Hips stay highdrop your hips.

How to scale the Sprawl

If you can't do the movement cleanly yet or the workout is too heavy, use one of these variations:

  • Step your feet back one at a time
  • Hands on an elevated surface

These descriptions are general guidance and don't replace a coach. Have someone at your box show you new movements, and stop if anything hurts.
