Happy Cinco De Mayo, everyone!
My morning started off with an 8:30am bootcamp class and it was amazing! I wanted to stop in real quick and share a portion of the workout that we did, which was tabata based.
I love tabata workouts. I was first introduced to tabata's years ago when I took and taught bootcamp classes regularly. If you have never done tabata's before here is a quick breakdown of what the premises is:
- Work hard for 20 seconds
- Rest for 10 seconds
- Complete 8 rounds
Basically it is a quick, but killer, 4 minute workout you can do with almost any exercise. Our workout today looked something like this:
So the first superset looked like this:
- 20 seconds of step ups
- 10 seconds rest
- 20 seconds of dips
- 10 seconds rest
- 20 seconds of step ups
- 10 seconds rest
- Continue for 8 rounds (4 minutes)
After you complete 8 rounds of the first superset, rest for 1 minute and then get right into the next superset. Do this all the way through the 4th superset and you will have completed a 20 minute tabata workout!
