HIIT: Tabata
Tabata is high-intensity interval training that consists of eight sets of fast-paced exercises each performed for 20 seconds interspersed with a brief rest of 10 seconds.
You can time on your watch or use a tabata timer on youtube or even better find a tabata play
list on any music provider including youtube that tells you when to go and when to rest.
Traditionally tabata would have one exercise for 8 sets but to avoid injury and to make it a little
more enjoyable we will do two exercises per set.
Warm up: 5 min: jogging, jumping jacks, high knees, stairs, biking whatever to get yourself
moving. Do some dynamic stretching.
Tabata sets:
Round 1:
Jumping Jacks & Mountain Climbers
(first 20 sec J-Jacks, rest 10, second 20 sec mountain climbers etc...)
Round 2:
Spot Sprints & push up with side plank/hip twist
Round 3:
Burpies & v-sit rows
Round 4:
Squats & jogging with air punches
Round 5:
Pop Squat & Bicycle crunches
Round 6:
Push ups (modify if needed) & inch worms (if you have shoulder issues don't walk out past push
up position)
QUICK COOL DOWN & STRETCH!!
