All You Need Is 20 Minutes to Burn Fat and Tone Your Entire Body

High-intensity interval training like Tabata is proven to help you lose weight faster than steady-state cardio — especially belly fat. This style of workout is characterized by 20 seconds of high-intensity work (going as quickly and intensely as you can!) with 10 seconds of rest, repeated eight times for a total of four minutes. Sounds easy, but it's anything but!

Some Tabata workouts are simple, alternating between two moves. But since we wanted to target the entire body, this workout involves eight different bodyweight moves.

Directions: Keep a clock or timer close by or use a handy app to track the intervals, and complete this four-minute workout a total of four times. Focus on moving quickly and doing as many reps as you can with proper form. Take a one-minute break between each four-minute block, making this a 20-minute workout.
