Tabatas: A Fast Kickass Workout!
Tabatas are super-cool high-intensity workouts, which I absolutely love! They are one of the hardest forms of workouts I have ever done, but I love them because they are quick and they produce results fast. Take a minute to read my previous post on Tabatas.
When doing Tabatas, you will need your Gymboss Interval Timer. Set it for 8 rounds of 2 intervals. The first interval will be 20 seconds, and the second one will be 10 seconds. You pick the exercise of your choice (such as alternating side lunges, for example), and you perform 8 rounds of 20 second exercise. Each round is followed by 10 seconds of rest, for a total of 4 minutes. The catch is, however, that you perform each round of the exercise as fast as possible. Ideally, you should be doing the 8th round as fast as you did the first, with no drop-off in number of reps performed. After the 8th round, rest for one minute and then begin your second set of Tabatas with another exercise of your choice. Then do a 3rd and 4th set, each with a different exercise and each with a one minute rest period.
After a Tabata workout, you will feel as though your butt has been kicked. If you don’t, then you didn’t do it right.
A few exercises you might choose for your Tabata workout include: mountain climbers, squats, side jumps, burpees, flutter kicks, dive bombers, alternating side lunges, and pull ups.
