Still not sure, watch the video below to get a quick rundown of Tabata\u2019s with our Head Chick Laura on CTV Morning last week.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/znv20ezpJCg\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You HAVE to get ugly \u2013 I mean like really work hard. Go to the ugly zone where speaking is not an option and your face goes bright red \u2013that means you are at your 9 out of 10!<\/p>\n<p>OK so for the workout you have 4 moves total. Complete the first exercise, all 8 rounds and then move onto the next.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Star Jumping Jacks<\/strong> \u2013 touch the ground by your feet and jump up into a jumping jack position. For level 2 option jump into the air like the huge star that you are and spread those limbs long and proud!<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Push Ups<\/strong> \u2013 just when you thought Tabatas couldn\u2019t get any tougher we add my favorite move to them and BAM your hit with some serious Tabata training!<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Burpees<\/strong> \u2013 one of our favorite moves because it works everything! For the 10 second \u201cbreak\u201d I want you to stop wherever you are so that means if you are in plank hold the plank if you happen to be standing then hold a low squat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Squats<\/strong> \u2013 simple but seriously effective. Level 2 add a jump to these making them more intense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For Tabatas to work, you have to work so push hard<\/strong>, try not to break for long periods in between exercises and remember to breathe!!<\/p>\n<p>Also, remember if you prefer to sweat along with us to Tabatas instead of flying solo on them you can <a href=\" http:\/\/www.rogersondemand.com\/tvshows\/shape_up_with_fitchicks\">check us out at Rogers Anyplace TV and watch the episodes <\/a>or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rogerstv.com\/page.aspx?rid=16&amp;lid=12&amp;sid=4976\">check out your local listings to see when the next &#8216;Shape up with FIT CHICKS&#8217; airs on your local station<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Not a Rogers Customer \u2013 why not join the Head Chicks live at our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fitchicks.ca\/retreats\">Sweats and Sass Weekend Retreat at Horseshoe Resort in Barrie<\/a> to not only experience Tabata\u2019s but yoga, Zumba and so much more!<br \/>\nHave a FAB weekend chicks!<br \/>\nAmanda xo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey Chicks!
