Tabata Workout #1

Tabatas.

 

They can strike fear into the best of us.

 

But they are AWESOME when it comes to fitness training!

 

Here's the deal.  You set an interval timer (I use the free Gymboss app on my phone) for 4-8 rounds of 20 sec work and 10 sec rest.

 

You perform Exercise #1 for 20 seconds, then rest for 10 seconds, then do that same exercise for 20 seconds, rest for 10 seconds, etc., until you have completed all 8 rounds (or 4 or 6).

 

Then you have a 1-minute cardio interval!  Ahhhh!  It's like a break!  Sort of...

 

Then you go on to Exercise #2 for 4-8 rounds of 20 sec work/10 sec rest.

 

Beginners: 4 rounds of each Tabata

 

Intermediate: 6 rounds of each Tabata

 

Advanced: 8 rounds of each Tabata

 

Got it?

 

Good!
