May's Weekly Tabata Challenge - Week 2

Week 2 of our May Tabata Challenge! Memorial day is just around the corner.  We are here to help you push through to your summer goals!  

As mentioned last week, cardio is a great way to burn extra calories when you need that extra push!  Keep performing your weekly strength training workout to keep your metabolism up and muscle looking hard.  But now it is time to add in the cardio to shred those last few pounds.  Do not worry we have your workouts covered! 

If you missed the Tabata workout for week 1, go check it on our blog as each week it will  progressively become more intense to allow you to slowly progressively overload your cardio training sessions the smart way! 

Ready to get started?  

This week is dumbbell Tabata! We are sticking with Traditional tabata timing of 20 seconds work 10 second of work, repeated 8 times for 4 minutes total per round.
