4 Minute Fat Burning Workout
4 Minute Fat Burning Workout
October 20, 2010 3 Comments on 4 Minute Fat Burning WorkoutDuring my Las Vegas trip last week, I did a little gambling, had some delicious cocktails, and saw the Nevada Ballet perform, but I also made sure I stayed moving. I only did one structured workout while I was away, but I also spent two days hiking in beautiful Red Rock Canyon and the Valley of Fire. I really enjoy hiking and although my heart may be pounding and I’m sweating profusely, I’m usually to busy enjoying to scenery to notice.
I shot a workout video about Tabata intervals for you while I was out there in the desert. This 4-minute fat burning working is great when you are short on time, but still want to get a good sweat in. these types of workouts are called tabatas. I like this style of training because you can be at any fitness level and use this technique to achieve results. Just remember to use an exercise that works multiple muscle groups and to really push the intensity!
What are some other exercises you like to do Tabata-style?

Hi just found your site. Love it! I just watched the video on Tabata Interval training and got confused when you said it’s 20 sec of work and 10 sec of rest and than when you demonstrated it you did10 sec of work and about 5 sec of rest. Would you clarify which one it is? Thanks again and keep the videos coming!!
Lori-
Thanks for the compliments! I’ve been slacking with my site recently, but I l plan to have some new videos up soon.
As for the Tabata, it is 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest, which is what I demonstrated on the video. I know it doesn’t seem like a long time when you are watching someone else perform the exercise, but 20 seconds will feel like a REALLY long time if you are really pushing yourself!
Thank you so much for clarifying. I am a newbie at exercising and want to learn from the best as I am 41 now and don’t want to injure myself or have the time and money to go to the gym everytime I want to work out! You make it so easy to understand. thank you for all your dedication to us out there who cant come to you personally. It is appreciated!
