TABATA TUESDAY

Good morning, friends and welcome back; I hope you had an awesome weekend and that your week has gotten off to a great start! Today I’m back with another Tabata Tuesday! You guys know how I feel about these quick, no-nonsense workouts; they’re challenging, effective and can be done absolutely ANYWHERE! If you’ve never done a tabata routine before, don’t fret; I’ll leave detailed, easy to follow  instructions below! So if you’re ready to get your sweat on, grab a bottle of water and let’s get into this!

So that wraps up this Tabata Tuesday post! I hope you found it helpful and somewhat inspiring. Are you currently on a health and fitness journey? I am and let me tell ya, it’s not easy. Some weeks I’m locked in and other weeks I’m eating McDonalds and Dominoes multiples times a day (whoops). Does this sound like you?! Please tell me I’m not alone? I’m working on showing myself some grace and not letting one day (or week in my case) derail all of my efforts. If you struggle with nutrition and motivation, allow yourself some flexibility and remember to just keep showing up for yourself as often as you can, I promise it gets easier!

XOXO,
