Caribbean Workout #3

Hey everyone,

For our third Caribbean Workout, we decided to change things up a bit and try a Tabata Workout.  Tabata is a very efficient, yet challenging way to workout.  After this quick workout, we headed back out into the sun...


As a reminder, a Tabata set is 4 minutes, which we suggest be followed by 2 minutes of rest (before moving onto the next exercise).  During the four minutes, you do 20 seconds of exercise as intensely as possible and then take 10 seconds of rest - do this for 8 cycles in total.

Listed below are the full-body exercises we completed.  We used dumbbells and the cable machine available in our resort's gym. 
  1. Deadlifts
  2. Lat Pulldowns
  3. Step-back Lunges
  4. Cable Flys
  5. Goblet squats

This was another fun, yet efficient travel workout.  Next time you're travelling, give this Tabata workout a try, or modify this to create your own Tabata workout based on the available equipment.
