9-Minute Total Body Tabata Workout!

Get yo’ sweat on, girl!


tone-it-up-tabata-free-workout-9-minute

Happy Valentine’s Day!!! We have the perfect quickie routine to get your heart rate up and tone every inch of your bod before you hit the town with your Valentine or Galentine!


But first…what is Tabata, anyway?! Tabata was discovered by a group of researchers in Japan as the ultimate tool to boost your aerobic and anaerobic capacity. Basically this means you get your cardio AND toning on at the same time! It’s dual action body love to majorly boost your metabolism and build beautiful, lean muscle!


The Tabata formula is super easy to follow. First, pick 8 moves. Then perform each move with perfect form and at the highest intensity you can manage for 20 seconds. Rest for 10 seconds. Repeat this process for the remaining 7 moves. The key here is upping your normal intensity. So if you’re doing a move that involves dumbbells, use the highest weight you can while still maintaining proper form. If the move is more cardio based, like squat jumps or plank jacks, try to fit in as many reps as you can. Twenty seconds may seem too short to see any benefit, but trust us girl, you’re going to be sweating! ;)
