Triple Tabata Bodyweight Workout

By

Disclosure: I was asked to participate in the CocoaVia® Live Your Life with Heart campaign. I was compensated for my time.

Hey there!

I have an awesome quickie workout for you guys. It’s high-intensity and doesn’t require any equipment, so you can do it just about anywhere. All you need is a little bit of space!

Triple Tabata Bodyweight Workout

In case you’re unfamiliar with Tabata workouts, here’s what they’re all about…

A standard Tabata circuit is four minutes long and broken up into intervals of 20 seconds of work, followed by 10 seconds of rest. Referencing the workout above, you’ll perform the first two exercises, alternating each one, for 20 seconds with 10 seconds of rest. So, for example, you’ll do as many Jump Squats (each with a 2-second hold) as possible in 20 seconds (hey, high-intensity!) and then rest for 10 seconds. Then, you’ll perform Mountain Climbers (same goal: high-intensity!) for 20 seconds and then rest 10 seconds. After that, you’ll return to the Jump Squats for 20 seconds, followed by 10 seconds of rest, and so on for a total of 4 minutes. (You’ll perform each exercise 4 times.) You’ll perform the second Tabata (High Knees + Curtsy Squats with Lateral Kicks) and third Tabata (Jump Lunges + Single Leg Deadlifts) the exact same way (20 seconds of work + 10 seconds of rest). Ideally, you’ll move from one Tabata to the next without rest, but if you need a second to catch your breath, so you can go all out on the next Tabata, go right ahead!

As you guys know, I love quick and sweaty workouts. They’re efficient, effective, and give me the most bang for my buck when it comes to fitness. I also love these kinds of workouts because the more you put into them (i.e. effort, heart), the more you get out of them (i.e. calorie burn, results). Like with anything in life– training for a marathon, advancing your career, or spending time with your family– it’s important to give your full effort and really live your life to its fullest.

Once again, I am so excited to partner with CocoaVia® on their “Live Your Life with Heart” campaign since it helps me be and feel my best by promoting healthy blood flow†. You guys recently entered a giveaway to win a prize pack from CocoaVia® , so here is your winner (just in case you missed it last week):

LINDSAY B
UNSWEETENED DARK CHOCOLATE!

Even if you didn’t win the giveaway, and you can still check out CocoaVia® for yourself, you can purchase it online or at select retailers.

I hope you guys enjoy the Tabata workout! Happy sweating!!

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
