This is a kick-butt workout that will work you over from head-to-toe for a full-body, sweat-producing, calorie-torching workout!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've put together a series of seven Tabatas with an ab circuit and 1-minute cardio interval between each one to give you an incredible workout.  The Tabatas will increase your VO2 max (the max volume of oxygen you can use) if you give each one 100% effort.  As a result, you aerobic endurance will increase!  They are only 20 seconds long, with a 10-second break after each one.  You can do anything for 20 seconds!
