Tabata Time!

 

            Here is your new workout for the next few days; until you receive a new workout, enjoy!  Tabata workouts are metabolism boosting and calorie burning!

You will do one exercise for a 4 minute cycle or eight circuits.  Work/do the exercise for 20 seconds and then rest for 10 seconds, repeat 7 more times.  When you finish the 4 minute cycle of that exercise, rest for one minute, allowing your heart rate to recover slightly and then begin the next exercise with the same interval pattern.  Download a tabata timer that will notify you of work versus rest intervals so you can keep your eye on the prize and not on your clock!  Here are your exercises:

            Jump shots (like you are shooting a basketball and jumping in the air)

            Squat kicks (squat and lift right leg to kick, squat and lift left leg to kick)

            Plank

            Bicycle Crunches

            Alternating side lunges

            Jumping jacks

            Wide squat and hold with twisting punches forward

            Crunches
