YOU CAN GET FIT 4 MINUTES AT A TIME AND I’M GONNA SHOW YOU HOW!

All you need to get in shape is the magic of the TABATA! 4-minute sessions of high-intensity interval training – or HIIT – called a TABATA is the king of the hill for INCREASING CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH – BUILDING MUSCLE – and BURNING FAT! And in the world of exercise, those are the big 3!!

Crank out an exercise for just 20 seconds – rest for 10 seconds – then repeat that for 8 rounds – that’s just a total of 3 minutes and 50 seconds… but 4 minutes is close enough! THAT’S A TABATA and TABATAS push your body to the max – increase your heart rate – boost your metabolism – and burn a ton of calories

Pick one exercise and repeat it 8 times – pick two exercises and repeat them 4 times each – or mix and match up to 8 different exercises – as long as you’re putting in max effort during the 20 seconds of work. Even if you’re a tad past 25, like me, you can still totally rock a TABATA.

Here are four essential exercises perfect for you in a TABATA format.

#1 – Squats – for your legs and core… or if your knees hurt grab a bench or chair and do a sit-to-stand.

#2 – Wall pushups – regular pushups are really tough in a Tabata format and even wall pushups are a lot harder than you think.

#3 – Crunches – will really put a burn on your core in the Tabata format.

#4 – Jumping Jacks – yep, just like you did way back in junior high gym class to get your cardio pumping.
