Burpees and Tabata

Would burpees be a good choice to use for Tabata? I've tried doing them for a minute straight and it was HELL! I did it but was dead tired and they are already an excellent conditioner so, if i could do it, would it combine well with the Tabata program?

yes! i just did a tabata of burpees, sit-ups, push-ups and air squats - 8 rounds of each exercise, with 1 minute rest in between each exercise. i felt like dying, but it was awesome! keep track of your lowest score for each exercise. for example, for my first round of burpees, i did 7, but could not do more than 6 for each of my 8 rounds; my first round of air squats, i did 19, but the minimum number i could do out of all 8 rounds was 13.

I teach to college students and DO incorporate Burpees for one of the tabitas. I also give options for those that can't do a full burpee...so far they love/hate it, which is good! Also add in push-up/side plank...other multi-muscle exercises...heck, do jumping jacks for a full tabita and you'll see your heart rate soar!
