Anyone else struggling now the evenings are getting dark so early? Ergh. To be fair, the lighter early mornings are an absolute delight, but come on, can’t we have it all?
Anyway.
When you don’t have a gym membership and there’s not a whole lot of light in the day, it pays to have a few short high-intensity workouts up your sleeve for when you just need to burn some energy and burn it fast.
This Tabata workout should do the trick.
So, what is Tabata?
Tabata is one of my favourite forms of high intensity interval training (HIIT). It consists of eight sets of high intensity exercise (20 seconds) followed by a recovery period (10 seconds). So one full round of Tabata is just four minutes in total. Sounds like nothing, right? Trust me, it’s hell.
The workout
Tabata 1: Squat jumps
90 seconds rest
Tabata 2: Chest-to-ground burpees
90 seconds rest
Tabata 3: Bicycle
Enjoy… and have a fabulous weekend xx
p.s If you don’t have a Tabata app, download one from the app store before you kick off – it’ll make your life a whole lot easier!
