16 Minute Tabata Workout

26th December 2017

Moderate-hard / high intensity tabata workout / bar +strips + bodyweight / 16 mins

 

EVO training is about simplicity. If you’re finding traditional training a little boring, over-complicated and unmotivating, you’ll love this simple high intensity tabata workout. No frills, no spills – just low tech, high effect!

You will need a barbell, strips to hold the bar and your won weight. Organize your space so you have easy access to this equipment, without having to travel too far.

The workout is done doing 8 round in 4 minutes (20 seconds of exercise for 10 seconds rest). Try to improve your performance  each time you come to EVO.

Finally, don’t be fooled by the apparent simplicity of this workout – the reps are increasing as you move through the rounds, and so will your heart rate. For motivation, partner up with a buddy and compete against each other. Remember, EVO training is about skill, so focus on good movement technique, whilst moving as fast as possible.
