Burpees can be very effective, but they're not a beginner exercise. It can be quite an intense experience to lower your whole body to the ground, and then it puts a lot of force through your joints, like your ankles, knees, elbows, and shoulders. 

Luckily, there are plenty of low-impact exercises out there to help you boost your strength and endurance just as effectively. This workout from Sweat app trainer Kelsey Wells, for example, builds muscle with moves that are easier on your joints.
