Tabata Training Fat Busters and Cardio Killers-The Burpee

So did you try doing the Bear from my last post? I know if you did you were cursing me the whole time but you also know how good it was after you were done.

Tabata Training I love it. Tabata Training truly is the ultimate in fat loss and cardio conditioning.

Well today I have another one for you to try. This one is an old standby bodyweight only exercise.

The Burpee (or as some of you may remember from back in school the squat thrust). There are many ways to do burpee’s and add on’s you can use but today I’m going to show you how to do the basic Burpee but as a Tabata Training protocol.

In case you have forgotten this is how you do the Burpee.

1. Stand erect
2. Squat down putting your hands on the floor.
3. Kick your feet back so you are in a push up position.
4. Do 1 push up.
5. Bring your feet back in so you are in the squat position.
6. Stand up.

Okay so here’s how were going to bring in the Tabata Training style with them. You will need a room of about 10 to 15 feet.

1. Start at one end of the room do 20 Burpees(or as many as your conditioning allows).
2. Walk to the other side of the room do 18
3. Walk back to the other side of the room and do 16

I think you probably see where I’m going with this. Right all the way down to 2. Now you are going to have to adjust the numbers to your conditioning level and chances are you will need to work up to these numbers.

Keep in mind what Tabata Training is 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest and repeat. That’s pretty much it give this a try 2-3 times aweek to go along with your other training.

A few minutes of Burpee conditioning will quickly convince you that your own natural bodyweight provides plenty of resistance for an ass-kicking workout that blasts your stamina and fat loss through the roof.

As I said before there are alot of add ons and variations for doing Burpees but I’ll save that for another day.
