You guysss… I have a surprise for you! It starts with a “ta” and ends with a “bata”.
You guessed it – a Tabata workout! BEST SURPRISE EVER.
This plyometric Tabata routine features 5 do-anywhere-no-equipment-needed exercises that will really get your heart pumping. You will work your butt off for 20 minutes and then you’ll be a little bit stronger, happier, healthier, and sweatier than you were before. All good things.
A Tabata is when you perform an exercise all out for 20 seconds followed by 10 seconds of rest. This pattern is repeated for 7 more rounds for a total of 8 rounds (4 minutes). We aren’t going to stop at one set though, we are going to do 5, for a total of 20 minutes, because we are not lazy, we are awesome.
However, I have this set up for 7 rounds instead of 8, so that you get in a 30-second rest between exercises. I know, I know. I am so kind.
So this is what you gotta do:
Doesn’t that seem fun? Let me tell you, it is.
Maybe you were hoping that the surprise was going to be cookies or a cake or some other sort of treat instead of this heart-pumping Tabata? If so, I hope you’re not disappointed.
Let’s compromise. Do this plyo Tabata twice this week (or any type of exercise, really) and I’ll post a tasty (somewhat healthy!) treat on Friday or Saturday. Do we have a deal?? Say yes.
If you love (or just like or even hate) this you should check out my other Tabata routines: 4th of July Tabata & Superset Tabata. You could look into all of the other workouts too. Also, don’t miss my new series: The Fit 5!
Have a fabulous week full of healthy food, cozy nights under blankets, and lots (or at least two) heart-pumping, sweaty, challenging, and fun workouts!
