  • Instructions

    Perform this workout as a Tabata, completing 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest for 8 rounds per exercise in the Main Workout. Transition quickly between exercises. For the Finisher, complete the prescribed repetitions as fast as possible. Focus on controlled movements throughout.

    Tips

    Maintain a consistent pace during your Tabata intervals to maximize calorie expenditure and improve endurance.

    Prioritize proper form over speed, especially during the dumbbell squat and bent-over row, to prevent injury and ensure muscle activation.

    Listen to your body during the Finisher. It's an all-out effort, but don't push beyond your limits.
