No Time for Exercise TRY THIS

Dr. Eric Berg

The Tabata Protocol is a series of 8, intense, 20-second workouts with 10 seconds of rest in between these 20 second spurts.

Tabata workouts burn 15 calories a minute, while walking burns about 4 calories a minute.

That’s quite a difference.

So, if you were doing a Tabata mountain climber-workout, it would look like this:  
 

-          20 seconds of mountain climbers going really hard

-          10 seconds of rest

-          20 mountain climbers (hard)

-          10 seconds of rest

That would be one minute.

Then, the second minute, do the same.
 

-          20 mountain climbers (hard)

-          10 seconds of rest

-          20 mountain climbers (hard)

-          10 seconds of rest

Do a total of 8 reps of actual climbers (4 minutes of exercise total).

That will burn almost 100 calories.  

It only totals up to 2 and ½ minutes where you’re actually working hard, yet it's intensely effective for helping you burn fat, toning your muscles, and getting yourself in great shape, no matter how busy you are with work, school, family, and other commitments.

And you only have to do it 4 times per week—not even every day.

It has to be a super intense full body workout. 
 

Here are some examples: 
 

• Burpees

• Mountain climbers

• Battling ropes

• Spin Bikes

• Kettle Bells 

But it has to involve the whole body and it has to be intense.

Try this for busting past weight loss plateaus and for quick workouts on busy days and see what happens to you!  

 Anybody can fit into these short bursts of exercise.
