It's getting hot here in Texas, so the outdoor workouts may be on hold for a bit. When I can't get outside, it's TABATA TIME!
A tabata is a quick, yet intensive workout that has you movin’ and sweatin’ in no time! I love these workouts because they are higher intensity in a short amount of time. If you have 20 minutes, then you can fit a great workout into your day!

Here’s how it works:
Go grab a Tabata Timer app - it’s free and will keep track of the workout for you.
Each tabata has 8 rounds - 20 seconds of work; 10 seconds of rest. You push yourself as hard as you can for 20 seconds and rest for 10 seconds until you complete all eight sets. Here’s an example I like to do at home.
Tabata #1
Round #1 - Butt kickers
Round #2 - Plank Jacks
Round #3 - Butt kickers
Round #4 - Mountain climbers
*Repeat the sequence for rounds #5-#8
Tabata #2
Round #1 - Ski jumps
Round #2 - High knees
Round #3 - Ski jumps
Round #4 - Squat jumps
*Repeat the sequence for rounds #5-#8
Tabata #3
Round #1 - Butt kickers
Round #2 - Plank jacks
Round #3 - Butt kickers
Round #4 - Mountain climbers
*Repeat the sequence for rounds #5-#8
Tabata #4
Round #1 - Ski jumps
Round #2 - High knees
Round #3 - Ski jumps
Round #4 - Squat jumps
*Repeat the sequence for rounds #5-#8
Tabata #5
Round #1 - Plank
Round #2 - Side plank - left
Round #3 - Side plank - right
Round #4 - Plank
*Repeat the sequence for rounds #5-#8
Boom! A tough workout in 20 minutes - try it before your coffee, during naptime, or after the little ones fall asleep! If you're feeling CRAZY, add it to another workout (like the Piyo I'm doing now)! Let me know if you have questions or if you try this tabata! Stay fit, mamas!
