My wife prefers burpees to tootees. You know, better North than south.

Frankly, burpees are for people who lack exercise discipline, but they’re better than nothing. You are much better off doing a series of different exercises that work each muscle group and then allow that group to rest while you work another group. Try a series of push up, lunge, crunch, plank. Ten each in succession, then rest for one minute and repeat two more times. Over time up both the number of reps and the number of series. Don’t be surprised if you are very sore for the first couple of days after the first day.
