WINTER WARMERS
8 HIIT EXERCISES TO GET YOU STRONG AND FIT FOR COLDER MONTHS
Masterclass
Tabata training is a high intensity interval training (HIIT) workout which will help you to build strength and endurance during the cold winter months.
Sets and reps: There are four workout blocks. The first three are four minutes long. Each 4-minute block will have 8 sets of 20secs work and 10secs rest.
How to perform the workout: Perform exercise one for 20secs followed by 10secs rest. Perform exercise two for 20secs followed by 10secs rest. Alternate between the two exercises. Repeat each exercise 4 times. This will bring you to a total of 4 minutes per block.
For the last block, which focuses on mobility, perform each exercise twice for 1 minute.
Tip: Download a Tabata timing app on your phone to make the time-keeping easier.
