Beginner’s Fat Burning Workout

If you’re beginning a fitness program with Skinny Ms. Fitness, I hope you will continue to join us after this week. Remember that workouts can always to modified to do fewer reps, circuits, sets and lift lighter weight if needed. The most important thing is to continue working out and do it consistently.

Today, we’re going to have a challenging workout that last all of 4 minutes. This workout is designed to burn fat and continue doing so for up to 24 hours. If you are new to interval training or the official name, Tabata Protocol, you’re in for a kick butt workout! This is how it’s done:

Tabata Formula:
Complete routine 2 times
20 seconds for exercise + 10 seconds rest = 30 seconds
30 x 8 = 240 seconds / 60 seconds = 4 minutes

You’re eating skinny, but are you exercising too? Feel and look your best with these workouts for home or gym use. Start this “Total Body Transformation” program today and have a more toned physique by June. Be your healthiest and sexiest for summer! Compatible with iPhone and iPad!!

You will need water, a mat, one set of light dumbbells, and some way to time your intervals…workout partner or, my favorite, the GymBoss. Be sure to watch the videos to see the correct form. It’s important not to interrupt your routine once you begin.
