Got 5 minutes? Let's torch that belly fat with a quick full-body Tabata routine!
No gym, no equipment—just you, your energy, and a little bit of sweat. Perfect for busy days when you still want to get moving and feel strong.
💡 What is Tabata?
Tabata is a type of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) that follows this structure:
20 seconds workout / 10 seconds rest × 8 rounds (4 minutes total)
We’ll add a short warm-up or cool-down to bring it up to 5 minutes.
It’s fast, intense, and great for burning calories even after you're done!

Do each of the following exercises for 20 seconds, rest 10 seconds, then move to the next.
