Tabata + Upper Body Workout for Women

Tabata + Upper Body Workout for Women

Tabata + Upper Body Workout for Women

This was supposed to be a 10-minute ab workout.

But, when it came time to film I thought “I really need some cardio and an upper body workout. Not abs!”. And, with that the plan changed.

How about you?

Have you ever felt the need for a short little cardio workout, followed by a make-your-arms-feel-like-noodles upper body workout?

Yeah? Awesome! I knew I liked you for a reason.

Tools Needed:

Pair of light, moderate and heavy dumbbells

I used: 8lb, 10lb, 15lb

Tabatas are a great way to get your fitness level up AND your fitness in when you’re tight on time.

You see the whole idea around a Tabata workout is you increase the intensity to decrease the exercise time.

The end result = a fitter you 🙂

This particular Tabata workout is perfect for beginners.

It uses bodyweight only, making it also the perfect to do anywhere and anytime.

#BOOM. Awesome sauce, eh?!

Oh, and I have also included a new fave recipe that I’m crushing on – Sweet Potato Pizzas.

It’s vegetarian making it the perfect meal for a future Meatless Monday (carnivore Loving Husband’s least favourite day of the week).

Sweet Potato Pizzas

Where you use the sweet potato as the crust!

Guess who’s back?

Loving husband blessed us with his comedic self for this workout. And boy was he in top form.

In addition to his usual complaining about how hard the workout is he also:

Made a plea with those watching to NOT subscribe to the YouTube channel, cause if there’s no one watching he won’t have to come and film.

Decided to see how far he could push his bad form with each exercise, while I wasn’t looking. Well played LH, I did not notice the shenanigans until I was editing the film.

Stared lovingly past the camera, through the front window, to the bakery across the street. They make his favourite donuts.

Forgot the three things I asked him to remember before started filming.

The end result – a pretty funny, yet still sweaty and awesome, workout.

 

The deets:

Tools needed: A pair of heavy and light dumbbells

Workout best for: home or gym

Level: beginner – advanced

35-Minute Total Body Dumbbell Tabata

35-Minute Total Body Dumbbell Tabata

A total body Tabata workout that uses dumbbells to increase muscle tone, as well as improve your cardio.

This workout, I am sad to report, I am solo. No loving husband.

I know! It’s just not the same without him. However, I gave him a really bad cold and the day I had to film (cause I missed last week from filming from being sick myself) he was coughing, sniffling and feeling pretty crappy.

So… since I was the a-hole who got him sick, the only conceivable thing to do was to leave him at home with Netflix, a bag of chips and a Big Gulp.

35-Minute Total Body Dumbbell Tabata

 

  • A Tabata workout is a series of sets (8 in total) of one exercise, with a work time of 20-seconds a set. While the work time is short, it makes up in intensity though.
  • For a true Tabata workout the exercises must be intense (a 9 and 10 out of 10 in the RPE scale).

The science of Tabata.

Research has shown that a Tabata workout can produce the same, and if not better, results for increased fitness, improved heart function and weight loss just the same as longer, less-intense workouts.

This is great news since the number one cited reason for not working out is lack of time.
