Full burpee with the dome adding wobble to every rep.
Keep your core braced on the pushup so the dome doesn't tip you sideways.
Adding the pushup turns the balance trainer burpee into a complete circuit rep, squat, plank on the wobbling dome, press your chest to it, hop in, stand, and punch the dome overhead. The quads and glutes still run the engine through the squat and stand, but the pushup on an unstable surface adds an upper-body toll that regular burpees never collect. It earns its place as the full-body conditioning rep with nothing left out.
Yes, gripping the edges of an unstable surface means your chest, shoulders, and core stabilise the whole way down and up. Expect the pushup to be the phase that breaks first when fatigue arrives.
Drop the pushup and do the standard balance trainer burpee until your pressing catches up, or do the pushup from your knees with hands still on the dome. Keep the rest of the rep identical so the flow stays intact.
The plank position, a sagging or twisting trunk on an unstable dome is where reps go wrong. Slow down, re-brace before each pushup, and end the set when rigidity goes rather than counting junk reps.
