Commando Steve reveals the 5 full body-burn exercises to try if you hate burpees

Many of you may know Commando Steve as the highly motivating (and frankly, quite terrifying) trainer on The Biggest Loser. Recently, bh’s Jess was invited to do a training session with the intimidating trainer in celebration of his collaboration with Coaching Zone to create the 'Super Session Workout', their toughest workout yet.
Before the workout (which left her very sweaty and with days of sore muscles) Jess was able to pick Commando Steve’s brain for some workout tips.
And most importantly, what someone who hates burpees with a burning passion can do instead that still has those whole-body toning benefits. Like the seasoned expert he is, Commando Steve was able to give us five exercises that will help tone your whole body, with no burpees in sight.
SQUATS

How you do it:
Standing with your feet hip-width apart, tighten your stomach muscles and lower your hips down as if you're sitting on a seat behind you.
Once your hips are vertical to your knees, rise back up and repeat.
What it does:
Helps tone your legs, butt, hamstrings, calves, abs and lower back.
LUNGES

How you do it:
Put your hands on your hips and step one leg back, keeping your toes facing forwards.
Bend your front knee, but keep your knee veticle to your ankle. Drop down so that your back knee touches the floor, and then rise again.
Repeat on both legs.
What it does:
Strengthens your quads, inner thighs, butt, abs, calves and back.
SIT-UPS

How you do it:
Lie on your back with your feet firmly on the ground, facing forward and cross your hands across your chest.
Curl the upper half of your body upwards until your chest touches your knees, keeping your ab muscles activated the whole time.
Be extra careful not to strain your lower back or neck.
What it does:
Helps to strengthen your abs, hip flexers, chest and neck while improving your posture.
BEAR CRAWLS

How you do it:
Starting on all fours, bend your knees at 90 degrees (below your hips).
Making sure to keep your back flat, crawl backwards and forwards by moving your opposite hands and feet (right hand with left foot, left foot with right hand).
Make sure your abs are properly activated throughout so as to not strain your back.
What it does:
Tones your abs, arms and legs while improving coordination and stability.
BROAD JUMPS

How you do it:
Standing with your feet shoulder wdith apart, bend you knees and torso and jump as far as you can, using your arms for balance.
What it does:
Strengthens your quads, glutes, hamstrings, calves and abs.
