These work great when you're in a pinch for fitness and only have your bodyweight for fitness.
The idea to these workouts (Tabata Intervals) is that you will exercise for 20 seconds, rest 10 seconds then repeat for a total of 4 or more minutes. I'll provide you with two different exercises. You can either:
a) Perform a single exercise for the total of 4 minutes before moving onto the next
b) Perform the interval for 8 minutes alternating between exercises.
Your choice. But If I were you I'd alternate.
Here they are:
Total Body Counters (Burpees)
T Push-Ups
Remember to keep the abs engaged the whole time (tight-solid) and to breathe out each time you exert force. If you need to modify the T-Push Up then push-up using your knees on the ground then move to the full extension plank prior to rolling into the "T".
With the TBC when you squat down always begin by moving the hips back first, bend at the knees second and keep your back flat the entire time as Jessica is doing above. No ROUNDING.
Good luck and let me know if you have any questions and how you're progressing with this at Rob@RBfit.com
