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?
How are you showing your body some love this week? An extra workout or an extra day of rest?
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!
Love the TIU girls!
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. :)
Ahhhh I love me some Tone It Up and I just got a kettlebell, so I will definitely be trying this!
Love Tabata workouts! I’m also loving using kettlebells lately so pinning this for later :-)
Confession – I’ve never done tabata. What is it because I keep hearing about it & feel like I should know what it is?
No worries! Here is a post from The Fitnessista all about Tabata: http://fitnessista.com/2011/12/focus-on-tabata-training/
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 :)
