Given their difficulty and their benefits on so many different parts of the body, it begs the question: Can a round of burpees stand in for an entire workout? They certainlyFrom a cardio perspective, burpees do kick our hearts into high-gear, requiring much more oxygen consumption than other exercises. The head-to-toe shred is so heart-healthy that Dr. Satjit Bhusri, MD, a cardiologist and founder of, says they're one of the best exercises for improving cardiovascular fitness.
"The heart and lungs are forced to work more efficiently to supply energy to the body," Dr. Bhusri says."Studies have shown that a higher number of burpees in [a three-minute interval] indicates higher cardiorespiratory fitness, which is associated with reduced risk for heart disease. And, more specifically, those with higher cardiorespiratory fitness had a lower risk of coronary artery disease.
But the rewards for pushing yourself through a sweaty round of burpees don't stop there. Dr. Bhusri explains that each bout of burpees also produces a high-calorie burn compared to other kick-ass exercises, like squats, deadlifts, and lunges, in order to meet that higher consumption of oxygen."Other benefits include improvement of blood flow and lowering of blood pressure," he adds."It can also help in improving cholesterol levels in individuals.
