Tabata Time

If you workout with me you know what this is and chances are you even groaned when you read the word. A Tabata workout is an interval training cycle of 20 seconds of maximum intensity exercise, followed by 10 seconds of rest. This cycle is repeated (without rest) 8 times for a total of four minutes.

You can keep score by counting how many resps you do in each of the 20 second rounds. The round with the smallest number of reps is your score. If you perform 20 push ups the first 20 seconds but only 5 during the final round, your score would be 5. There is a small element of game play here. You have to learn to push yourself without reaching absolute failure.

Try using push-ups, pull-ups, squats, jump rope, sit ups, KB swings, Cleans, Snatch ...... Anything!
