Fair warning: This workout may cause you to fall on your face when it’s over.
Workout Prep
First up, what the heck does “tabata” mean?
Good question.
A “tabata” is a high intensity workout protocol that requires a 20/10 split between 20 seconds of all-out exercise alternated with 10 seconds of rest. This is then repeated 8 times for a total of 4 minutes of effort.
Basically, you go crazy jumping rope for 20 seconds and rest for 10 seconds. You repeat that set 8 times for 1 circuit, rest for 1 minute, then repeat the whole circuit 3-4 times.
