BURN 300 CALORIES with This 20-Minute Cardio HIIT Workout!

We're burning 300 calories with this 20-minute cardio workout.

Everyone is different. Even if someone is the same weight, height, and gender as you, you probably won't burn the same amount of calories. The cool thing about this sort of workout (interval training) is we will essentially tell our bodies to burn calories during the breaks and up to 24 hours after the workout ends. A lot of people drop a comment on these sort of videos, letting me know how much they burned right after the workout is over (which is fine), but it's important to understand that once you activate the EPOC effect from the intervals, you will burn many more calories than your watch or monitor says after the workout is over. Kapeesh?

*THIS WORKOUT IS TRUE TABATA!

That means:

There are five tabatas in this 20-minute workout.
We’ll do one exercise at 100% for 20 seconds,
try to get our heart rate to come down for 10 seconds during the break,
then go back to the exercise at 100% effort again.
There are eight rounds per tabata (four minutes per tabata).
And there are five different tabatas in total (20 minutes total).
If you want to burn the maximum amount of calories, you have to give 100% during the exercise every time, and try as hard as you can to bring your heart rate down during the rests. You can bring your heart rate down by taking long, deep breaths.

If 20 minutes is too much work for you, stop the workout whenever you need to. As always, check with your doctor before starting any sort of workout program.

If you need to modify at any time for any reason, do the exercises on the right side of the screen instead.

I’m giving my 100%, but you might be different than me. Move slower or faster than me if you need to.

Tabata (and any kind of interval workout in general) is wildly effective at burning calories, but can be hard on your body if you do it too much. I only do interval workouts 2-3 times per week and always make sure to have a rest day between them. It's cliché to say, but moderation really is key. Ask your doctor about how much interval training is right for you. I cannot emphasize enough that everyone is different!
