Warm up well before Tabata training

Despite the short duration, Tabata training quickly builds up muscles and gets the metabolism going. And even after the workout, the body still uses energy.

Before you really get going, you should warm up for a few minutes. It's best to run on the spot or jump rope.

And this is how Tabata training works

You choose one of the exercises and do it for exactly 20 seconds. However, these 20 seconds really pack a punch - because you perform this short training session with a lot of strength, intensity and/or speed .

Then you take a break for exactly ten seconds. You repeat this eight times. The next day, you do a different exercise. A wide variety of exercises provide variety, e.g. in the book "Tabata for Women" by Sarah Willen (€4.99, Create-Space Independent Publishing Platform).
