Why Tabata Workouts Work

Tabata workouts are amazing, extensively researched workouts that are high intensity & create amazing results.

To do a Tabata workout, all you need is a timer, some equipment or just your bodyweight & a great playlist. The Tabata Songs on Spotify are a fun place to start!

Tabata workouts are 8 rounds of one movement done for 20 seconds of work followed immediately by 10 seconds of rest. Your 8 rounds will equal four minutes total before you move on to the next movement!

Here is an example you can try at home, at the gym, on vacation….anywhere!

This week is a full-on Tabata Workout, which means you will do one movement for all 8 rounds. Tabata workouts are 20 seconds of movement followed by 10 seconds of rest.

I like using the Seconds App to keep track of rounds & Tabata Songs are entertaining to countdown to as well. This workout gets spicy quickly, so be really mindful & keep great form!

Your score is going to be the amount of reps in the final round! Keep this workout & we will retest at the end!
