This is another modified version of the burpees using handles to minimize low back flexion when performing the burpees. I've mentioned in a previous video about the advantages of using higher handles for burpees when dealing with low back issues. This version is safer for both the low back and knees.

In this version you go from a push up plank position to a lunge position instead of a squat position. This takes away the need to "hop" from the plank position to a deep squat position, which is significantly easier on the knees since it's less impactful. The higher handles allows for easier transition from the plank position to the lunge while allowing you to keep your low back straight with little to no flexion which can be bothersome for some with a low back issue.

This version of the Elevated Burpees with Lunges you will perform a traditional lunge in place.

It should be noted that this modified version of the burpees may not be as "challenging" as a regular burpees, but I find it to be a great alternative, especially if you suffer from knee and low back issues.
