August 17, 2009 by Deb · Leave a Comment
Do you travel a lot? One of my instructor’s Cheryl Freauff travels quite a bit for her job so she created some great traveling tabota workouts that are easy to do in a hotel room and the only equipment that some of them require is a dyna-band and those are easy to throw into your suitcase!
Remember Tabota intervals are 20 seconds on-10 seconds recovery repeating each exercise 8x or 4 minutes. Each of these formats are 16 minutes long and should include a 5 minute warm up and a 5 minute cool down/stretch. These are all HIIT formats that give you the best bang for your time!
Give them a try! Shoot us a comment and let us know if you liked them or if you have a favotite format you like to share.
