In a recent post about Tabata Intervals, I told you how you could get an absolutely killer workout in as little as 4 minutes.

In fact, I had so much energy that I did a DOUBLE session!

Well, almost.

Let me explain.

Instead of doing 20 seconds of 100% intensity exercising followed by 10 seconds of rest for a total of 8 rounds, I decided to do 15 seconds of 100% intensity exercising followed by 10 seconds of rest.

So I won’t brag, really what I did was add about an extra 66% to a traditional tabata interval workout.

(A traditional one consists of a total of 4 minutes, mine was a total of 6 minutes).

But still, when you’re pushing yourself as hard as you possibly can, that 6 minutes feels like an eternity!

So what I did was I mixed up burpees (real burpees, not hip thrusters), pullups, and mountain climbers.

And it was an AWESOME workout!

Now I realize this was an advanced workout and that the majority of people can’t do it, but i do recommend doing Tabata Intervals. They’re a GREAT way to get an incredibly awesome workout in – and just spending a few minutes doing them.

Even if you just do them on days where you really don’t want to workout – which hopefully is only once in awhile – then do that! Just drop down and get them done.

Because come on, I mean if you can’t spend 4 minutes per day just a few times per week to workout, I think you have to get your priorities straight.

Maybe sometimes you just can’t get yourself to workout and every once in awhile that’s fine, just don’t make excuses. Admit to yourself that it’s your bad and that you’ll make up for it tomorrow if needed.

Either way, if you’re advanced I dare you to try out this double-tabata workout. If not, just try a regular 8 round session and I guarantee you’ll be wishing it was over after the 2nd or 3rd round!
