Hey y’all; happy Tuesday and welcome back! Today I thought I’d pop on here and share another quick Tabata workout with you guys. If you’re someone that struggles with making it to the gym, or you’re just having trouble getting motivated, this quick, at-home workout might be just the thing to get your body moving! I’m sure most of you know what Tabata is and how to do it, but for those of you that may be new here (or to Tabata), you basically work out really hard for 20 seconds followed by a 10 second break, being sure to take a 60 second break between each circuit. I know it might sound confusing now, but I will leave very clear, detailed instructions below!! So without further ado, let’s get our sweat on!

This makes me tired just reading it! I have been such a slouch (though in my defense I was sick but my type Aness does not recognize that), and the weather is super nice, but I haven’t been able to work out and it is killing me. KILLING me!!! Lol. <3
Girl! I’m tired looking at it too! I’m gonna give it a go tonight and see how I do, fingers crossed it doesn’t kill me. lol. And yes, you were sick! You know we gotta make sure you’re all better before you get out there and go HAM! <3
Hehe you are going to do amazing! Haha true very very true 🙂 <3
This is great! I really want to give this a go, but it looks tricky…

I went home and gave it a go. I had to take more than a 60 second breather after the second circuit, but I managed to finish! xo
Wow, well done! I’ll let you know how I find it when I get round to trying it! 🙂
