If you want to break a sweat, there's no better way to do it than with a Tabata workout. Certified personal trainer Kristina Earnest takes you through a 30-minute total-body Tabata session in this workout video first seen on Women's Health's weekly lineup of Instagram Live workouts. Yes, Tabata is a form of high-intensity interval training—but don't worry, Earnest provides you with low-impact alternatives throughout.
Here's everything you need to know:
Time: 30 minutes
Equipment: Dumbbells (one set of 8 - 15 lbs), towel, mat, water bottle
Good for: Total-body
Instructions: You'll start with a warmup and then get right into the Tabata workout. Tabata involes 20 seconds of activity followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated 8 times through. In this workout, you'll do 5 rounds total, followed by a cooldown.
