Tabata Madness Week 2 - Workout #1

Tabata Madness Week is BACK! Did you catch the first Round in Week 1? Check them out here! Tabata Madness Day 1 Tabata Madness Day 2 Tabata Madness Day 3 Tabata Madness Day 4 Tabata Madness Day 5 As with the past Tabata style workouts I've designed, you will work at your top speed with top form for 20 seconds on with a 10 second rest. There are 8 rounds total, equaling 4 minutes of work. After the 4 minutes of work,  you can rest for 1-2 minutes. This time around though instead of repeating the SAME Tabata again, you will do ANOTHER Tabata with 2 different exercise combos for those 8 rounds/4 Minutes of work. After that 2nd Tabata, rest again and THEN repeat both Tabata 1 and 2 with rest as needed. So in total, you will complete 4 Tabata style workouts, with rest which will should take you less than 25 minutes depending on how long your rest periods are after each Tabata. If you are a beginner, shoot for one round and see how you feel. You can always modify where needed, but the point of a tabata is to go all out for those 20 seconds. Twenty seconds is NOT a long time, so you need to really push hard during the work cycle. For today’s workout you will need a set of dumbbells. SET YOUR TIMERS FOR 20 SECONDS OF WORK, 10 SECONDS REST, 8 ROUNDS(FOR ONE TIME THRU). After the first Tabata, REST then start Tabata 2. After Tabata 2, rest again and then repeat the whole cycle again one more time! Breakdown is as follows. TABATA 1 20 seconds - 4 High Knees with Tuck Jump 10 seconds - REST 20 seconds - Squat and Press with Dumbbells 10 seconds - REST 20 seconds - 4 High Knees with Tuck Jump 10 seconds - REST 20 seconds - Squat and Press with Dumbbells 10 seconds - REST 20 seconds - 4 High Knees with Tuck Jump 10 seconds - REST 20 seconds - Squat and Press with Dumbbells 10 seconds - REST 20 seconds - 4 High Knees with Tuck Jump 10 seconds - REST 20 seconds - Squat and Press with Dumbbells 10 seconds - REST REST 1-2 Minutes.
