How to Tabatas:
Find a partner for the following Tabata Exercises. One partner can do one exercise for 20 seconds while the other one performs the other exercise for 20 seconds. Rest 10 seconds and then switch exercises. After you have completed 4 minutes (8 sets), rest for 1-2 minutes and then move to the next set. This will take the entire workout. If you don’t have a partner, just alternate through the exercises.
