I know you can find 4 minutes in your day to exercise. Tabata is great because it is a compact high intensity workout that you can customize to fit your needs. Your workout can grow with you because you simply do as many reps as you can do of each exercise in 20 seconds. Maybe week one you can only do 10 pushups in 20 seconds. Don't give up......by week 5 or 6 you might be able to do 15 or 20. ( or even more)
Don't have anyone to watch the clock for you and tell you when 20 seconds is up? No problem, you can find Tabata timers just about any where.
Gymboss makes a great little interval timer/stopwatch pictured below. If you are in the habit of working out away from home or at the gym, this is a great investment.
If you have your computer near by and want a free timer I recommend http://www.tabatatimer.com/
This is a great little free timer you can customize. Check out the screen shot below.
Tips: *Any exercise is better than none.
* Switch it up with different exercises. There are plenty to choose from including: jogging in place, burpees, sit-ups, bicep curls.......you name it.
*Exercise first thing in the morning revs up your metabolism and is a great way to start your day.
