Today I’ve got an awesome Full Body Tabata Burn for you that will increase your endurance and sculpt lean muscle in about 15 minutes.
I’m going to stack 3 tabata sets together to make this super effective for you. Tabatas are an incredibly effective and efficient way to workout! They offer us the maximum benefits in the shortest amount of time (1), and who doesn’t want that?
Tabatas are a type of HIIT – high intensity interval training- where we pair 0:20 of maximum effort with 0:10 rest periods which you repeat for a total of 4 minutes. The key to getting the most out of this is to really give it YOUR ALL (2)!
And remember, to get the most from your workouts, focus on eating a combination of balanced whole nutrient dense foods, getting quality sleep and reducing your stress levels– the other three components of our 4 Pillars of Health.
As always, I’ll talk you through form tips and modifications so you can get stronger safely. You won’t need any equipment for this one so meet me on the mat and let’s check off your workout for the day!
Love having workouts you can do ANYWHERE, ANYTIME – and a well-designed plan to follow so you get the BEST RESULTS? Take a 30-day Challenge in Rock Your Life and have workouts like this formatted into a plan to follow!

Move 2: Skater Lunge Hops
- Begin with your feet hip-width apart, core engaged.
- Step your right foot back behind you reaching out to the left like you are doing a curtsy.

Tabata Two
Move 1: Spider Climbers

- Keeping your core engaged, bring your right knee to your right elbow, crunching your abs and return your right foot back to starting position. Repeat on the left.

Move 2: Jump Switch Lunges
- Begin in a strong lunge position, making sure your front knee is in line with your front foot and your back heel is lifted and is in line with your back knees.
- Bending both knees you will end in a 90-degree angle position ensuring that your knee is not shooting in front of your toes.
- Jump yourself up and switch your front and back legs, landing softly and with good form (you can get your arms involved for balance and speed).
- MOD: You can take the jump out if you need to modify this, and do alternating forward lunges. Always feel free to hold onto the wall or a chair back to stabilize you in these single leg moves!
