Floor to stand, no circus

Burpee

Hands down. Jump or step to a plank. Chest can kiss the floor. Stand up. A small jump is optional. This is not a CrossFit final. It is a way to get the heart going in a hallway.

Hunter: I step back when a jump-back wrecks my wrists. I skip the push-up if the last 3 look like worms. I still log the version I did.

Cues

Squat. Hands on the floor.
Step or jump the feet back to a plank you can own.
Optional: a clean push-up. Skip it if the line breaks.
Feet back under you. Stand all the way up.
Small jump and clap if you want. Not required. Land quiet.

Setup

Clear floor. Shoes that stay on. Start with 6-10. Four sets on Dorm Engine day. Rest about 45 seconds. If you need more rest, take it. Ugly speed is not conditioning.

Dorm Engine day

This is the first move on the conditioning day. Pair with mountain climbers, jumping jacks, and a hollow hold. Twenty-five minutes. Log the burpee count. That is more honest than a random HIIT app you will quit.

Step-back still counts

Step the feet back. Step them in. Same name in Engine with a note if you want. When 8 step-back reps look quiet, try a jump-back. Do not mix versions in one set and pretend the number means the same thing.

Heart rate without a lecture

If you wear a strap, the zones tool can tell you whether you wandered into a sprint you cannot repeat. For most school nights, stay at a pace you could talk in short phrases. Then log and leave.

Common misses

Worming the push-up. Crashing the knees. Skipping the stand-up so it becomes a flop. Also: racing for a calorie number on a watch you will not remember next week.

FAQ

Do I have to jump?

No. Stand tall at the top. A jump is extra. Log the same either way, or note it.

Chest to the floor every rep?

Only if the plank line holds. A plank without the push-up is allowed. Call it if you skip the press.
