Sydney Peronal Trainer - 4 minute workout

If you have had a personal training or strength training session with me you would know how much I like interval training.

And one of my favourite interval training modalities is the TABATA protocol.

For those who are not familiar with the tabata method, it is usually a 4 minute interval workout (not including warm ups and cool downs).

We have a 20 second work rate and 10 second rest rate. Repeat 8 times and you have your 4 minutes.

My favourite way to do tabata is sprinting although I enjoy using a Schwinn air dyne just as much...and now that I think of it I like doing kettlebell swings as well.

It is up to you what exercise you use..although make sure you choose something challenging .
