Tabata Workout

What is Tabata? Tabata is a type of High Intensity Interval Training. It involves performing a particular exercise (or exercises) at high intensity for 20 seconds followed by 10 seconds of rest repeated 8 times for a total training time of 4 minutes.

Here is your Full Body Tabata Training for you to try. Do each exercise for one Tabata round. Take a 1-2 minute reset between each round. This is meant to kick your butt so beware. It should take about 30 minutes.

Start with a 5 minute warm-up with a full-body stretch.
Round 1: Burpees
Round 2: Alternate pushups & situps
Round 3: Jump rope
Round 4: Alternate push-up jacks & Russian twists
Round 5: Mountain climbers on the floor or standing
End with a 5 minutes cooldown & stretch
