Marc McLean is our ‘in house’ fitness guru and he has created a Tabata workout you can follow at home.
Marc has also created a demonstration video on his YouTube channel that you can follow at home in the comfort your own living room.
There are eight exercises: Russian twists, ankle slappers, flutter kicks, leg raises, Spider-mans, mountain climbers, push-ups, and sit-ups.
Do a few arms and legs stretches to warm up beforehand and then get stuck into this great workout.
If you’re quite unfit at the moment and can only manage a few repetitions of each exercise then that’s okay.
The main thing is that you give your all for each 20-second workout period.
It’s all about steady progress and getting better with each workout.
Those who are very active may choose to do all
eight exercises, take a minute’s rest then complete another round. It’s up to you!
Simply do the Tabata session every couple of days and then you’ll gradually increase your stamina.
