    Workout of the month: Tabata x 3

    5th October 2020
    Tabata workout - entraînement tabata - EVO Fitness

    ALL LEVELS / Tabata workout for strength, speed, endurance / 15 mins

    Equipment: None

    Think about this month’s workout as one that you can do anywhere. Bodyweight-only, this Tabata workout requires no equipment — just a small amount of space. Thus, making it a great option to get outdoors — a garden, a local park or, if you have one, a balcony. Of course we can’t think of a better place to perform it than one of our EVO fitness clubs, with all the space you need for a complete workout.

    This month we are going old school by doing a simple Tabata workout. To make it more challenging, we are actually suggesting 3 Tabatas — hence the name, Tabata x 3. Just as a reminder, a Tabata workout consists of 20 seconds of work plus 10 seconds of rest. It should be performed 8 times, for a total of 4 minutes.

    This is a progressive workout, which means it gets more challenging as you progress from one exercise group to the other. The good news is you don’t have to worry about reps – you just need to focus on working hard in each 20-second cycle. 

    As promised, here are the 3 Tabatas. Don’t worry, between each of them you will have one minute to catch your breath.

    3. Butt kicks

    EXPERT TIPS

    • Perform each exercise as fast as possible — making sure, of course, that you keep a proper form and control over your moves. 
    • You can see how this workout starts with two big exercises performed back to back — this will bring on a considerable cardio challenge, so pace yourself. In the 2nd and 3rd Tabatas, we are adding more exercises, which will progressively challenge your work capacity. With this in mind, pace yourself well.

    Benchmark your progress by counting the total number of reps — the goal is to try to beat it next time.
