Tabata Exercises:

To learn the chest exercises, click the links below for step-by-step exercise demonstrations.

A1. Reverse Lunge Floor Tap

The first exercise is the reverse lunge floor tap.

This movement is the most beginner-friendly in this Tabata workout.

  • Reps: 20 seconds
  • Rest: 10 seconds
  • Sets: 2

The Reverse Lunge Floor Tap is a leg exercise that primarily targets the glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps, and hips.

To get started:

  1. While standing with your feet hip width apart, engage your core muscles, then take a step backward to lower into the reverse lunge position.
  2. As you lower your body, simultaneously bend forward slightly at the waist and reach your hand, on the same side as the back leg, towards the floor beside your front foot.
  3. This position should look similar to the 3 point sprint stance.
  4. Tap the floor lightly with your hand, then return to the starting position by quickly driving your back leg forward to be in alignment with your front leg 
  5. Your back bent arm also comes forward, while your front arm goes back, as you stand up straight.
  6. Repeat all the reps on the same side for 20 seconds, then take a 10 second break.
  7. You will switch sides during the second round.

A2. Reverse Lunge Floor Tap To Forward Drive

The next exercise is the reverse lunge floor tap to forward drive.

The Reverse Lunge Floor Tap To Forward Drive is a leg exercise that primarily targets the glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps, and hips.

It’s similar to the reverse lunge floor tap, however this variation adds a forward drive action to the movement.

  • Reps: 20 seconds
  • Rest: 10 seconds
  • Sets: 2

To get started:

  1. While standing with your feet hip-width apart, engage your core muscles, then take a step backward to lower into the reverse lunge position.
  2. As you lower your body, simultaneously bend forward slightly at the waist and reach your hand, on the same side as the back leg, towards the floor beside your front foot.
  3. This position should look similar to the 3 point sprint stance.
  4. Tap the floor lightly with your hand, then quickly press your feet through the floor as you drive your back leg forward past your front leg, while driving your arms, similar to if you were exploding out of the starting line during a sprint.
  5. You’re going to feel this as you complete all the reps on the same side for 20 seconds.
  6. You will switch sides during the second round.

A3. Sprinter Lunge

For the third exercise, you will progress this movement a little bit more by completing the sprinter lunge, which combines a reverse lunge floor with a knee drive.

The Sprinter Lunge is a great bodyweight lunge variation that targets the legs, as well as reving up your heart rate.

  • Reps: 20 seconds
  • Rest: 10 seconds
  • Sets: 2

To get started:

  1. While standing with your feet together, take a big step back to complete a reverse lunge with the same leg, until your back knee is just a few inches off the ground.
  2. During the reverse lunge, immediately lean forward as you move your chest towards your front knee to touch the ground with your fingers by your opposite foot.
  3. Press your feet through the ground to get back to standing, while immediately driving the knee and foot of your back leg up.
  4. The opposite arm drives forward and the other arm drives back, similar to when you are pumping your arms while sprinting.
  5. Repeat all the reps on one side for 20 seconds.
  6. You will switch sides during the second round.

A4. Sprinter Lunge Hop

Oh baby, you’re going to complete granddaddy variation of this exercise now, the sprinter lunge hop.

Complete the same sprinter lunge movement, but this time add a hop.

The Sprinter Lunge Hop is a great bodyweight plyometric lunge variation that targets the muscle in the legs, including the glutes, hamstrings, and quadriceps.

By adding the explosive hop, it revs up your heart rate even faster. 

  • Reps: 20 seconds
  • Rest: 10 seconds
  • Sets: 2

To get started: 

  1. While standing with your feet together, take a big step back with the same leg to complete a reverse lunge until your back knee is just a few inches off the ground. 
  2. During the reverse lunge, immediately lean forward as you move your chest towards your front knee to touch the ground beside your front foot, with your fingers on the hand on the same side as the back leg.
  3. Press your feet through the ground to get back to standing, while immediately driving the knee and foot of your back leg up, as you hop off the ground.
  4. The opposite arm drives forward and the other arm drives back, similar to when you are pumping your arms while sprinting. 
  5. Repeat all the reps on one side for 20 seconds.
  6. You will switch sides during the second round.
  7. Take a 10 second break, then move on to the second round.

That Is The End Of The First Round

You are halfway done.

Are you still with me and feeling good?

Since you completed all the reps on the same side during the first round, one of your legs should now be feeling juiced.

Your heart rate should also be up.

Shake it out as your prepare for the final round.

Important Note: Remember to change legs for the second round.

Give me everything you got.

Let’s go.

No pain.

Drive through it.

The finish line is very near.

If you’re feeling that lactic acid and pain in your muscles building up, push through it.

Awesome job.
