The Workout Muse Cardio EXPRESS
4-Minute Equipment-Free Fat Loss in Your Living Room!
This cardio express workout features the breakthrough Tabata Protocol that Japanese
scientists used to compare the effects of only 4 minutes of high-intensity interval training to a slow, long 60-minute steady-state aerobic alternative. They found greater fat loss and greater improvements in overall conditioning with the following 4-minute interval routine versus the full hour of aerobics! Each workout takes only 4 minutes, not including the highly recommended warm-up routine. In all, you will be in the shower 10 short minutes after breaking your first bead of sweat.
Cardio EXPRESS- Tabatas: 4 minutes total
5-minute warm-up (optional, but highly recommended)
You will alternate between 20 s of work and 10 s of rest
You will perform this 30 s interval 8x for 4 total minutes
