Tabatas FYI:

- Your work intervals can include strength-training exercises, body-weight moves as well as plyometric drills.
- When you are moving, you shoukd be using the hardest intensity you can muster.
- Ease into tabatas if you've never done them before;start with two intervals (two minutes total) and build from there.
- Always warm up and cool down properly to avoid injuries.
