You ate it-negate it...Tabata time! Tuesday WOD

Tabata is a great way to get an interval workout in for maximum fat burning in little time.
The format is 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest x 8= 4mins total for each exercise.

You need a clock with a second hand or ideally an interval timer on your watch.

Try these in Tabata style for a 20 minute killer to add to your workout today!

20 seconds on, 10 seconds off x 8 for EACH exercise!

1. KB sumo high pulls
2. KB swings
3. Box jumps or step ups
4. Squats (air squats-fast, or med ball/weighted)
5. Mountain climbers or push ups

Total:20 minutes


Follow this up with some treadmill sprints or some other form of cardio and you'll get a killer workout that will continue the fat burning effect for 24 hours after you leave the gym!

If you don't have access to equipment, you can sub in another exercise like high knees, punch outs, 
burpies, jumping jacks, full sit ups...get creative.

Here is some more info for you on Tabata training:
