At Mommy's on the Move we incorporate a lot of Tabata Training into our routines!  Never heard of it?  Let me explain, Tabata training is a great way to burn fat FAST!  Tabata Training is a high intensty interval training (HIIT) program that can be done in just 4 minutes! 

Here is the structure:

- Workout without stopping for 20 seconds
- Rest for 10 seconds
- Complete 8 rounds
