Tabata Tuesday - Week 2

Participation in this or any program is voluntary. Consult your doctor prior to beginning an exercise program or making changes to your lifestyle or health care routine. After a short warm up, grab a timer and take on this Tabata challenge. Perform each exercise at full intensity for 20 seconds followed by 10 seconds of active recovery (keep moving). Repeat each exercise 7 times for a total of 8 rounds. Rest for 1-3 minutes, then, move onto the next exercise. Total time for each Tabata = 4 minutes. To reduce intensity increase rest time. Recover with some flexibility exercises.
