No time to hit the gym? No problem. A good workout doesn’t always have to take place surrounded by a ton of iron anyway (as you’ll soon discover). This 20 minute HIIT workout will not only smoke your entire body, but it’ll leave your metabolism fired for hours afterwards, helping you burn fat. You may not need any equipment for it but you will want a decent pair of workout shoes on your feet and your gym water bottle, for sure.
This workout ups the ante even more than a regular HIIT workout as it's Tabata-inspired. ‘What’s Tabata?’ you ask. Tabata is a style of HIIT which involves 20 seconds of work, followed by a 10 second rest, so it’s very high intensity. However, the National Academy of Sport Medicine says it has some great benefits, including improving your aerobic levels (cardio) and anaerobic capacity (power), as well as an increase in excess post-exercise oxygen consumption, where you continue to burn calories for hours post-workout.
