10 Minute Tabata Workout

If you're short on time, try our 10 Minute Tabata Workout to get your heart pumping and your lungs working. One round of Tabata is just 4 minutes long, but work hard enough and you’ll carry on burning calories for up to 24 hours due to the ‘afterburn’ effect known as post-exercise oxygen consumption.

This workout consists of 2 minutes of skipping as a warm up followed by 2 rounds of Tabata.

Tabata 1

8 rounds, 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off. Punch the air or a punching bag for 20 seconds straight and then rest for 10 seconds. Repeat this 8 times for a total of 4 minutes.

Tabata 2

Kick the bag for the first 4 rounds then switch to punching for the last 4 rounds. 

Cool down

Always make sure you cool down after a tough workout by doing dynamic stretches so that your muscles do not cool down too quickly and cramp up. And drink plenty of water!
