25 Minute HIIT TABATA
Print Workout Here
I am combing two of my favorite types of workouts, HIIT and TABATA to bring you a seriously sweaty and effective workout
What you will need:
- Set of dumbells, and a mini band if you have one for a bonus booty burner
Warm-Up:
- 3-4 minutes of various moves to get you feeling lose and warmed up
Workout:
- 4 circuits each with 2 moves. Perform move #1 for 20 seconds and take a 10 second breather. Now move on to move #2. Perform for a total of 4 rounds before moving on to the next round
Circuit 1
- Squat Jumps– Is it me or do squat jumps never seem to get easier?!? Be sure to land soft on your feet to protect your joints. If squat jumps are a little too crazy for you, then stick to fast squats (doing as many as you can in 20 seconds) or run in place as fast as you can!
- Plank taps– Time to strengthen that core! Feel free to do on your knees or toes, Its only 20 seconds, you got this!! Keep your shoulders in line with your hands and your back straight!
Circuit 2
- Oil Riggers –I love love love this move, this will strengthen and tone your triceps in no time. These are no joke, so take your time. Keep your hands under your shoulders and bring the triceps back behind you while bringing your chin towards the floor as your chest comes between your hands. Slow and steady!
- High Knees –you know what to do, RUN RUN RUN
Circuit 3
- Mountain Climbers – perform 2 slow and controlled, and then do 4 really fast reps
- Head bangers with Bridge Hold – use 1 heavy or 2 lights weights for this triceps burner, hold the weight above your chest with straight arms, just like the top of a chest press. Now slowly bring the weight toward your forehead, keeping your shoulders in place, only hinging at the elbow. Return to staring position and keep repping them out!
Circuit 4
- Burpees! – just when you thought you could get away without performing burpees I throw them in at the end. Muhahahahaha you may hate me, but your body will thank me JFeel free to slow the burpee down if need be, OR if burpees are just too much than you can continue with butt kicks or high knees!
- Bicep Curls – you know the drill girls, grab a set of weights and start curling. Perform 1 rep in a hammer curl position and then perform 1 rep as a wide curl. Keep your elbows locked in at your side, your shoulders back and the weight in your feet disrupted evenly
Cool Down/Stretching
- Complete 5-10 minutes of nice gentle stretching.
Make today Badass

Love tabata circuits!! And thanks for the bonus booty burner. I didn’t have a mini-band but used ankle weights instead. Thanks Kaylie!
Atta girl! those ankle weights must have made it TOUGH hehe
I looooooved this!!! And the booty burner can we do those at the end of every workout :)
I do love working the booty, so maybe we should start !!!
whoops accidentally sign in as Ash heheh
Great! Taking summer course. Many hours at laptop reading and writing. Really needed this!
oh glad it helped! I so now that feeling
Maybe it was just me, but that felt like one of the toughest workouts I’ve done in a while. I’m so sweaty but feel strong. I love the idea of doing a booty builder at the end of all the workouts.
oh wow lady I am so glad you are feeling strong and badass after this one. I will keep bringing the booty your way !!
I kind of hate how good your hair looks at the beginning and the END of this workout – i was a sweaty mess and then you cruelly added in that burning lava of a butt set too ???
hahaha it was pure luck, and you know you loved the booty burn ;)
Always love tabata! Awesome workout! great start to the morning!

I really did not have the energy tonight to do this but did it anyway and feeling like a whole new lady! Booooya! You gals are my saviours every time!
YAAAY so happy you powered through lady! high 5!
Thank you for the modification of the weights under my wrists for the mountain climbers! I could actually do all 20 seconds without my wrists in pain.

Better late than never (not that never was an option!). Loved the butt bonus, it was a wee bit of a torturous burn!
That’s what we’re good for!

Loved this workout so much. Perfect balance of everything and so sweaty so it must have worked well. Funny to see my comment from last year!!!
YAY I ams o glad you are still digging it a year later!!
So funny story about this workout… was doing this in the backyard this morning and was at the bum band part and just got down on all fours when my landscaper and two employees walk into the backyard. It was pretty awkward but also very hilarious. We all had a good laugh!
HAHAHAHA that is amazing!!! I bet they loved it LOL
Booty bonus was badass! I love using weights!
I love tabata. Can do anything for 20 seconds and it goes so fast. Great combo of moves. Butt HURTS,
