Yesterday was a big day at Fit Healthy Moms – we hit 500 fans on Facebook. As promised, I am thanking you in the best way I know how – with sweat! Not just any sweat, though. I’m giving you a workout that will burn more belly fat than any other workout out there. In fact, research shows this kind of workout is THE MOST EFFECTIVE BELLY FAT BURNING WORKOUT out there.
Yup, I’m talking about Tabatas. Many of you love the Tabata workout I posted a few months ago, and you’ve been doing it regularly. WAY TO GO! The only thing better than a Tabata workout is, ummmm, a HARDER Tabata workout! Agreed? So, I’ve combined some great moves here to make Tabata Complexes for you to use. This is a really fun way to hammer out cardio. You will be in a full sweat within the first four minutes. Promise.
Remember, the reason we LOVE Tabatas is because of their fat burning capabilities. Tabatas are a form of High INtensity Interval Training (HIIT) that burns up to 9 times more fat than traditional cardio. So, this workout is WAY more effective that hammering out 30-60 minutes on the elliptical and the entire workout will take you about 20 minutes.
Like I mentioned above, perhaps the most beautiful thing about Tabatas and HIIT training, in general, is it’s ability to target BELLY FAT. Yes, this kind of training is more effective at burning belly fat than any other form of cardio or abdominal training. These are the kinds of workouts you want to be doing regularly. Skip your walks and crunches and sweat this out in half the time for 9 times the burn.
The Tabata format is :20 of HARD work, followed by :10 of complete rest x 8 rounds. In this workout, I give you two exercises per Tabata, which makes it really fun, yes, I swear, it’s totally fun! So, watch, learn, do!
As a recap – this video includes the following Tabatas:
Tabata 1: T Squats / Mountain Climbers (:20 WORK/:10 REST x 4 rounds of each exercise. 4:00 total.)
REST x 1:00
Tabata 2: Lateral Walking Plank / Bent Over DB Row (:20 WORK/:10 REST x 4 rounds of each exercise. 4:00 total.)
REST x 1:00
Tabata 3: Leap Frogs / Alternating Jump Lunges (:20 WORK/:10 REST x 4 rounds of each exercise. 4:00 total.)
REST x 1:00
Tabata 4: Sumo Squat & Uppercuts / Push Up & Knee Pull (:20 WORK/:10 REST x 4 rounds of each exercise. 4:00 total.)
If you’ve been using Tabatas or HIIT workouts and noticed that you’re burning off your belly fat, let us know how that’s been for you. It’s always really fun and exciting to hear what’s working for other moms! I know many of my Boot Camper moms who are reading this have burned off MANY inches of belly fat with these kinds of workouts – while smiling the whole time!
