NEW! TABATA TUESDAYS



One of my favorite workouts when I need to kill cardio, improve my endurance and speed up fat loss is the TABATA WORKOUT.

Tabata is spicier than most cardio workouts. Instead of running and biking for hours you get your complete cardio workout in just about 15 minutes (start complete stretch). To someone always on the go this is a great workout, escpecially for those who hate cardio machines at the gym.

To get the most out of this workout I suggest downloading an interval timer on your smart phone. I use Seconds Pro and customize each timer for all my tabata workouts (pretty sure it cost aroun $1.99) This workout can also be done at home using water jugs if you do not own free weights.
