What does BURPEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A tiring exercise in which you drop into a squat, kick your legs back, return to the squat and jump up.
The movement is named after the American physiologist Royal Burpee, who devised it in the 1930s as a quick fitness test. It trains the arms, legs and heart at once, so a few dozen burpees in a row leave most people out of breath. Gym instructors often add a push-up or a jump at the end to make it harder.
