Are you one of those people who don’t feel satisfied, until you sweat like a pig while working out? If yes, then you’re in for a real treat. Do you know why? That’s because we have for you a Tabata routine that will only take 15 minutes, but will rev up your metabolism like no other! And of course, more sweating means more calorie burn, and that means more weight loss.

So are you ready to try out this quick Tabata routine? Come, let’s show you how it’s done.

Some ground rules first

Before you start this Tabata routine you need to know a few things:

  • Warm up a little, say for about 5 to 10 minutes. Just stretch your muscles, so that you don’t get cramps, while doing this non-stop Tabata routine.
  • Please remember it is a non-stop Tabata routine. Yes, this exercise focuses on doing fewer reps, taking a short break, and repeating it. As part of this routine, you will do three circuits, each with two exercises. You’re supposed to perform an exercise for 20 seconds, then take a 10-second break, and then move on to the next for another 20 seconds. 
  • Every circuit has four rounds.
  • Don’t lose the pace if you really want to get the best results.
  • Keep a yoga mat handy.
