Tabata, or not tabata…that is the question.
Today’s tabata workout is a full body experience. You’ll start with some abs, then hit your arms, and finally work out your legs for a sweet 3-in-1 deal!
Just a refresher: Tabata workouts feature 8 rounds of work per station. Each round is 20 seconds of maximum effort, and you rest for 10 seconds in between rounds.
Not sure you can keep up the pace? Don’t worry! You can go at your own pace; just make sure your form is always on point.
