Home Workout #33: Tabata Torture

The Ultimate 4-Minute Workout!

Are you strapped for time, but still want to incorporate exercise into your day? Then do my Tabata workout!

Tabata training:

  • Is a type of high intensity interval training touted as the most intense and effective way to burn fat.
  • Consists of 20 seconds of “all out effort” followed by 10 seconds of rest. This takes 4 minutes.
  • When I say “all out effort”, that means you should feel like your lungs are going to explode by the time you reach the 2-minute mark. Watch the workout to hear how my breathing changes over the course of 4 minutes. You can see and hear me struggling!
  • After doing extremely intense Tabata exercise, your body will continue to use more oxygen than normal during the next 24 hours. In other words, your metabolism will be higher, which means you will continue to burn extra calories.

  6. Hey Sara, First off, you are the best. I have been benefitting from your workouts and knowledge. I love your Jump Rope Tricks with Side Swings video. Where can I find a step by step guide on how to do more tricks? Being an old and uncoordinated guy like me of 49 years of age, I am a little slow on coordination so I need an easy to follow, step-by-step guide, like your Side Swing video. By the way, did I mention that you are the best?

  10. I love your short workouts! I don’t dread these! I don’t have the issues with working out that I do with nutrition. I always lack on protein at the end of the day! Any tips? Which whey protein is best? How do I incorporate that? Thx for being so unique and entertaining and RESEARCHED! So excited!

  11. Hi Dr. Sarah I’m taking a look at this workout because it’s going to be on my schedule for tomorrow morning and I was just wondering do you recommend doing anything in addition to this because it’s only four minutes

  12. Hi Dr. Sara! I’m taking a look at this workout because it’s going to be on my schedule for tomorrow morning, and I was just wondering; do you recommend doing anything in addition to this because it’s only four minutes? I know it is probably in the anaerobic zone a lot, but I am finding that I’m having the best luck with intermittent fasting when my burned calories per my heart rate monitor are around 250 per workout which I’m generally meeting just fine, and did successfully during workouts 1 & 2 in this series. Thx for any info you can offer. I’m really enjoying tapering this to my needs in terms of using the heart rate monitor during workouts and in terms of changing my macros and calories using the pro calculator on a daily basis… So much freedom! And, it’s kind of cool being my own experiment! I just want to scream about this from the rooftops to everyone I know! P.S. I know my A$$ got a great workout this morning with Better Butt HiiT! Woop woop! TTFN!
