Tone It Up Tabata Workout

February 12, 2014 by Hillary 9 Comments

Don’t miss the incredible Forte Gelato GIVEAWAY {ends tomorrow}!

* * *

Last week I did a turbo tabata workout. The intention was to do my trusty 20-minute Tabata Kettlebell Workout (from which I still have an ugly blood blister), but then I wanted more. The endorphins were pumpin’.

So… I added on five bodyweight tabatas (20 intense minutes with a 25 pound kettlebell was enough iron!) to create this Tone It Up Tabata Workout.

You will be drippin’ halfway through this workout. Feel free to switch up the order of the tabatas (i.e. alternate the weighted and bodyweight exercises). This full-body routine will tone up every inch of you body from your deltoids to your derrière.

Would you rather do cardio or strength tabatas?

    I have yet to try out a Tabata workout, but this looks like an awesome one!

    This week, I discovered the Tone It Up website and I’ve been enjoying their YouTube videos. I’m super excited to have found them!

    Can you believe I’ve never done a single Tabata? I get so frustrated by short workouts that CLAIM to be effective, but leave me barely out of breath, so I think this one should definitely be on my to-do list. :)

    Confession – I’ve never done tabata. What is it because I keep hearing about it & feel like I should know what it is?

    I am loving the Tone It Up videos! I’ve trying to run outside or on the treadmill this week 2-3x/week and then do 2-3x/week Tone It Up videos!

      Sounds great!

      I hope readers aren’t too confused: I just titled this workout the “Tone It Up Tabata Workout”; it’s not a trademarked TIU routine :)

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
