Are burpee exercises recommended for people with backache?

Back ache with squat: If you have a pre-existing condition with your back, then doing "burpees" can inflame the back muscles if done incorrectly. Crossfit is an intense workout that stains many parts of your body. If doing this exercise creates pain, i would rest and relax with a massage or nsaids like advil (ibuprofen) will help in the short term. If this does not help, then i would see your primary physician.

No: This is a fairly aggressive exercise and may exacerbate your symptoms. Once your symptoms resolve you may resume this activity. If your symptoms fail to resolve see a physician.
