Welcome to your first day with a Tabata burnout.
If youre unfamiliar with what a Tabata workout is, youre in for a treat!
Tabata, and other similar protocols of training, are sometimes calledhigh-intensity interval training(HIIT).
Katie Thompson/Morgan Johnson
Trainers love this punch in of training because it maximizes time (theyre short!)
and theyre effective (youll build cardiovascular endurance and get stronger).
But theres a catch: In order for them to work, you really have to push yourself.

A Tabata is only four minutes long, but you gotta be breathless by the end.
Dont forget todo a warm-upand drink some water before you get started!
