"Time for TABATA" An intense & short workout.


TABATAS WORKOUT
Surely you do not want to neglect your aerobic 'cardio' fitness. With a Tabata workout you can perform both aerobic and anaerobic. As a cardio strength training, it is proven to improve your aerobic fitness as well! However, to reap the benefits of this interval protocol, it must be an all-out effort during the entire period. It is the concept of maximum intensity and not pacing.
Please Note: Progressions and modifications can be made to help achieve ultimate results. 


STEP 1: Progression, used for beginners or speed activities
Perform 8 rounds of this protocol using only a 10 second work and 20 second rest interval. The total time of completion is 4 minutes.
