Tabata Bodyweight Workout III

February 1, 2007

We are focusing this week on bodyweight exercises using the Tabata protocol as the basis for our workouts.

You can still get in solid workouts even if you have no weight lifting equipment. There are no excuses. If you really want to exercise, you don’t need membership to an expensive gym, a complete home system or god forbid, the Bowflex.

All you need is desire, a solid work ethic and your own body. This is a variation of the Tabata method – 20 seconds effort, 10 seconds rest for four minutes or eight reps.

In this routine you will complete four circuits of the following exercises with no or minimal rest between each exercise and circuit. This is a brief but very intense workout. Give it a try and you’ll see what I mean.

Perform this routine 2-3 days per week and see what happens to your conditioning levels. Increase reps and/or speed of circuit when it becomes easier.

Understand that to be successful in any weight training program – hard work is a must! Half-hearted effort does nothing for you. If you’re new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a physician first. End of disclaimer.
