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
