One of my favorite kinds of workouts to love to hate are tabatas. If you haven’t heard of a tabata or don’t really know what it is, first and foremost, they are tricky little guys that look relatively easy, but really will kick your butt. Second, they are a form of HIIT (high intensity interval training) where you work hard for a short burst, followed by a short rest.
It’s weird, I get it, but it’s also highly effective so today, we’re going to get our sweat on through this awesome tabata. Even better, the only equipment you need is a jump rope (though let’s get real, you can also just pretend to jump rope), making this perfect for travel or taking to the park!
Complete each exercise for 20 seconds, then rest for 10 before moving to the next exercise. Complete each circuit 2x through and then move to the next circuit.
CIRCUIT 1:
Jumpe Rope / Push-ups / Squat Jacks / Wall Sit
CIRCUIT 2:
Jump Rope / Air Squats / Plank Jacks / Supermans
CIRCUIT 3:
Jumpe Rope / Tricep Dips / Burpees / Plank Hold
CIRCUIT 4:
Jump Rope / Alternate Lunges / Skaters / Boat Hold

I love/hate Tabata workouts too! Theyre so effective though especially when youre short on time! I will be pretending to jump rope because i actually stink at regular jump rope! haha

I might be more than a fan of tabata…I love HIIT workouts and tabata workouts mostly after becoming a mom because I need fast and effective and they hit that goal every time!
I love prana too! Entering now, crossing fingers and toes that I win!
