The Tabata workout lasts only four minutes [per exercise], but is one of the longest four minutes you'll encounter. The structure of the program is:

• Workout hard for 20 seconds
• Rest for 10 seconds
• Complete eight rounds

Today's exercise:

Squat Jumps
High Knees/Frankensteins
Mountain Climbers

You complete 8 rounds of each exercise before moving on the next, 4 minutes each. 1 minute break.

The key to this style of exercise is to, no $#!+, give it your max effort. After only three exercises you should be completely smoked. But, it's gonna feel great.



During the second four weeks most of our off-day workouts are going to be Tabata.
