Happy Friday! Looking forward to a beautiful weekend with my family 
For our workout today, we are going Tabata style! (intense 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off for 4 minutes)
Warm up: 10 minute jump rope, 25 push ups 
Workout:
- air squats (no weight)
- Pullups (use bands if needed)
- burpees
- jumping lunges
- in 20 seconds do as many reps as possible for each exercise then take a 10 seconds break (in between exercises.) Do as many rounds as possible in 4 minutes. See if you can do (2) 4 minute rounds!
Have a great workout and weekend!! Let me know how many rounds you completed… Stay tuned for more workouts Monday!

I’ve only ever done Tabata with one exercise (e.g., 20 secs thrusters, 10 secs rest for 4 minutes), so I’m a little confused. Do you do 20 seconds of air squats, rest 10, do 20 seconds pullups, rest 10, etc. until you get to four minutes? So you end up doing two 20 second sets of each exercise in the 4 minutes, right?
Thanks for the clarification!
Hey Jesse, yes! Your exactly right; 20 seconds on each (non stop) then 10 second of rest in between. Continue through the sets, Ex;
- 20 seconds air squats (as many as you can non stop)
10 second rest
- 20 seconds Pullups (as many as you can non stop)
10 second rest
- 20 seconds burpees (as many as you can non stop)
10 second rest
- 20 seconds jumping lunges (as many as you can non stop)
10 second rest
..and repeat circuit as many times in 4 min
