#tabata is always my go-to when I’m short on time, and even when I’m not.
The format is easy: (8) Rounds = 4 Minutes, and if you have more time you can do multiple sets.
Each round is:
20 seconds of max effort / 10 sec. Rest
And there are free Tabata timer apps online (that you can download to your phone) to help keep you on track of when to work, and when to rest.
Typically a HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) workout, but you can use the same format for any movement at any pace.
The graphic shares some of my top five (with and without equipment) options. Like Kettle Bell Swings, Slam Ball, Wall Ball Sit-ups (with equipment) and no worries if you don’t have access to equipment, it can be modified to any movement… sit-ups, push-ups, squats, etc.
Great when work is busy, when traveling, or just because you like the format, like I do.
I feel I can do anything for 20 seconds knowing I have that short rest before jumping back in.
Everything is modifiable #allorsomething
