When it comes to making the most out of a quick workout, you need to hit it with some high-intensity interval training (aka HIIT). The Tabata Protocol is a highly structured, quick, and efficient form of HIIT - each round is only four minutes long, divided into eight 20-second periods of work followed by 10 seconds of rest.
This workout comprises a short warmup, followed by two rounds of Tabata. To keep thing exciting, you get to alternate between exercises within each Tabata; this helps keep your muscles fresh so you can really go your max during the work intervals. We recommend using a SIT app to keep track of your timing.
