Do You Have 4 Minutes? That’s All You Need For This Workout Wednesday Session
Six weeks into Workout Wednesday and Duff physical education teacher Matt Bostick is introducing many of you to a new word – Tabata.
The good news is that if you’re a fan of quick workouts, Tabata is right for you as Bostick said you can get what you need done in four minutes. The bad news? Well, there’s not a lot of time to slow down and think about the At-Home Learning Hub as Tabata’s goal is a lot of intensity in a short amount of time. The focus is on hard work and short breaks to get in another great workout.
Here’s the plan for this week.
Week 6 workout (perform eight rounds, 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest)
You pick the exercise:
- Jumping jacks
- Jumping squats
- Sit-ups
- Plank
For added intensity, perform one set of Tabata using one exercise, and then do another full set with a new exercise!
In case you missed any of the earlier episodes of Workout Wednesday, here are the exercise routines Bostick did as well as a link to all the episodes.
