It was a rare sunny day up here in Milwaukee, WI, so my girlfriend and I went to the lake to get in a quick 20-minute cardio workout.
If you have never done Tabata sprints before, you have no idea what you're missing/about to get yourself into, ha ha!
Here's what we did and man did it break us!
Tabata Sprints- 20 minutes total
- 5 minute warm-up
- 20 s sprint, 10 s active rest
- repeat this 30-second round 8x for 4 total minutes followed by a 1-minute rest and transition
- Perform this 5-minute sequence 2x for 10 minutes total (if you are new to this type of training, you might be totally smoked after the first 5-minute sequence)
- 5 minute cool-down
I completed this workout several hours ago and I am still feeling some serious AFTERBURN. Nothing beats being in pure fat-burn mode for the rest of day after a short 20-minute high-intensity workout, even when your shopping for patio chairs at home depot (this was definitely not the highlight of my day).
Bottom line, sprints are the key to unlocking those flat, 6-pack abs. They involve every single muscle in your body for the ultimate fat-burning, muscle building movement in existence.
Not convinced? Just look at the body of a sprinter or stop-and-go athlete (basketball, lacrosse, tennis, football, field hockey, etc.): super lean and muscular at the same time!
Crank it!
