Instructions

1. Begin in a standing position with your feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Drop into a squat position with your hands on the ground.

3. Kick your feet back so that you are in a push-up position.

4. Perform a push-up, ensuring that your chest briefly touches the ground.

5. As you push back up, bring your legs back into the squat position.

6. From the squat, explosively jump to one side into a lateral side kick with one leg.

7. Land softly and immediately drop back into the squat position to repeat the burpee.

8. Perform another push-up and then execute a side kick on the opposite side after the next jump.

9. Continue alternating the side kicks with each repetition of the burpee.

Remember to keep your movements controlled and maintain proper form throughout the exercise. Keep your core engaged during the push-up and squat positions, and focus on landing softly to minimize impact on your joints. Adjust the intensity and speed to match your fitness level, and take breaks as needed.
