Tabata is comprised of eight rounds of very high-intensity exercises in a precise 20-seconds-on, 10-seconds-off interval for four minutes.
Each exercise in a Tabata workout is only four minutes, but it will feel like longest four minutes you’ve ever experienced. Here is how a typical exercise is broken down:
- Work out as hard as you can for 20 seconds
- Rest for 10 seconds
- Complete through 8 sets of each exercise
