I Hate Burpees!
This is a 4-minute workout designed to elevate your metabolic rate for the rest of the day.
Yep, you will be burning fat like a champ for hours after your workout thanks to Burpees & Jump Rope!
Equipment Required:
- A Gymboss timer
- Shock-absorbing surface, such as interlocking floor mats.
- Two Dumbbells (I used 15 pounds each)
- A Medicine Ball (I used 12 pounds)
- A Dr. Sara Solomon Cross Speed Jump Rope by Buddy Lee Jump Ropes. It’s portable and inexpensive. I always travel with mine!
Always a Must!
- Read my workout rules before you begin!
Drink your BCAAs!
Stay hydrated with water.
Video Workout:
Keep this 4 minute circuit mega-INTENSE; otherwise, you are not going to benefit from Tabata. If you are late for work, this is an ideal 4-minute workout to cram into your hectic morning schedule. Maximize fat-burning by doing this 4-minute workout fasted as soon as you wake up … and stay fasted for at least 2 hours after the workout (you can drink your BCAAs).

Doing this one at noon on Tuesday. Is a 20lb medicine ball good enough? Thank you for posting this so much. I work 2 jobs and I need time efficient/effective practices like you post. One more thing, can you post a vid on how you do that cat’s cradle thing? I can’t seem to get it 🙁

Did this at 5:30 am, ..I was trying to brush something off my face afterward, the floor!
Thanks Dr. Sara.

Quick question. Is this meant to be only a four-minute workout? Or can you do two or three circuits back-to-back? I guess I’m asking because it’s been drilled into me for the whole of my life that the more cardio the better. If I wanted to do two of these Tabata workouts back-to-back, how long should I wait in-between them? BTW, you are hilarious and I love your fitness and health philosophy!

i know less is more but I need longer workouts ! Can you start adding new longer sessions like 20-30 min ?
