Tabata training

Tabata is high-intensity interval training, which usually is used for improvement of your cardio performance and strength ability. The concept of this training is 20 second of work with high intensity and 10 second of rest for 4 minutes. In one session of 4 minutes doing the same exercise. This type of training is for people who have advanced level of fitness, but with little modification we can make for people with different fitness level.

My tabata workout!

For this workout you will need interval timer set up on 20 second work and 10 second rest 8 rounds.

The advanced players will be doing one exercise during 4 minute and after that other exercise for 4 minute and go with same effort to the last exercise. Between each session doing 2 minute rest and stretching.

For the beginners, please make sure you do the modifications for each exercises. You will do one exercise during 20 sec and go on the other exercise for the other 20 sec. During one session you will doing 2 rounds of these exercises. I recommend only 2 sessions for the beginners, that is 8 minutes total. Between each session doing 2 minute rest and stretching.
