Of course, it only makes sense to call Tuesdays, Tabata Tuesday. Let’s take it to the next level and call this Tuesday – Total (body) Toning Tabata Tuesday.
This is a Tabata based on HIIT intervals (20 seconds on and 10 seconds off) eight times through for a whole four minutes for each exercise. The movements may seem basic but the way in which the exercises are performed in this HIIT type style is sure to leave your muscles fatigued and you nice and sweaty.
