How it works

Three steps

  1. Strap in.

    Open Burpee Buddy on your watch and pick today's workout.

  2. Work.

    The watch counts each burpee and buzzes on every rep. Lose count? It doesn't.

  3. Rest like you have a partner.

    It rests you exactly as long as your set took, then buzzes you to go. That's the whole trick.

The program

Three days a week

Monday

Burpee Day

Burpees first, then the push-up variants.

Wednesday

Pyramid Pushups

Up one side of the pyramid and down the other. Start at 15, the goal is 25.

Friday

Combo Day

Rounds of mixed circuits with a quick push-up round between.

A burpee here has no jump. Down, push-ups at the bottom, stand up.

Where this comes from
“I learned these workouts in prison. No equipment, a small space, nothing but bodyweight. They were built for two people: one works while the other rests, then you swap. That is why the rests are the length they are. I still do the whole week, every week. Burpee Buddy is how I put that partner on your wrist.”

Burpee Buddy needs a Wear OS watch.

It runs the workout on the watch; the phone app is the companion: program guide, history, Health Connect. It does not run on Apple Watch, Garmin or Fitbit.
