The 4 Minute Leg Workout

The 4 Minute Leg Workout

My clients know first hand how much I love Tabata. Tabata is a system of interval training that consists of 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest and you repeat this 8 times. It comes out to a total of only 4 minutes, but I can promise you that you will look at 4 minutes totally different after you're done. Some people like to do the same exercise for all 8 rounds, but I want to throw something different your way. For intervals 1,3,5 & 7 I want you to do Squat Jumps and for intervals 2,4,6 & 8 you are to perform Smurf Jacks . The breakdown of how to do this exercise is below.

You can make your own Tabata workout by picking at least one of your favorite exercises, and making a workout out of it.  It's just that easy and its effective. Try doing a Tabata workout first thing in the morning to start your day; it's just another way to eliminate the excuse "I don't have time to work out".  Enjoy the workout, and stay focused on your goals.
