What Is Tabata?
Tabata is a type of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) made up of 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated for 4 minutes (8 rounds).
The twist? You go all out during those 20 seconds.

What You’ll Need:

• A pair of dumbbells (light to medium weight)

• A timer or Tabata app

• A towel and water—you’ll sweat

• 6 Tabata rounds (4 minutes each)

• 1-minute rest between rounds

• Total: 30 minutes
