MAX out with the FREE Workout of the Weekend: MAX Tabata Test!

For this first June Workout of the Week(end) we’re revving it up to full intensity and calling for max effort and max repetitions!

The ‘Tabata Protocol’ was developed in Japan for highly-trained endurance athletes. Here at Skimble this workout follows suit, starting with a 5 minute warm-up, then 4 rounds of 20 second high intensity exercises, followed by 10 second rests. Finish up with two minutes of cool-down.

Test your athletic-self with Tabata and see if you can beat your personal best the second time around.  Let us know how you did in the Community Forums and see how it compares to your fellow skimblers!
