TABATA bing TABATA boom

Passing the tabata torch to you!  We torn the Tabata timer out last week yall!  It was lit! Now it’s your turn!  I know, I know I’m a very generous person.  

We went rough and tumble shaking it up with tabata interval training.  Talk about elevating the heart rate and burning calories. You can actually crush about 400 calories or more with 10 sets of a good Tabata.  If you only have time for 30 minutes, kill 200 calories and finish later!  

I love Tabata because I don’t have to count.  It allows me to focus on breathing and technique.  I enjoy the fast paced 20 second intervals of 4 minute kick butt rounds.  It goes by really quick and before you know it 8 rounds are in the record books!    Only 4 more to finish. 

Today, take a chance or a time out  and tackle one of these two tabata workouts!   You will thank me! 

Because I love you…I’m going to share my favorite TABATA segments.
