You can create your own Tabata work out and gear it to whatever muscles groups you want to focus on or improve. The one I did above is kind of a mash up of different muscles group, just to try tabata out, some of the exercise are definitely lower intensity than others so feel free to incorporate your own. Remember you could also do Tabata just repeating one exercise 8 times. This 4 minute workout will definitely leave you winded and I’ve heard some claim that it is more effective than 30 minutes of jogging. You decide! Let me know what you think! Have you ever done Tabata before?? Do you like it? Is it something you feel you would start doing on a regular basis??
**PS this picture isn't me or one I took, I borrowed it from the internet. It's really hard to take a picture of yourself while doing Tabata.
