30 Min Full Body HIIT Workout | Tabata Style No Jumping & No Equipment is one of Caroline Girvan‘s non-EPIC workouts. This is a body weight strength workout. I really enjoyed it. It is definitely not one of her more advanced workouts but I got a great workout and it was a lot of fun. I even experienced some burn out with some of the lower body tabatas.
As the title indicates, this workout is done tabata-style: each exercise is done for 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest. The exercises are paired together and each pair is repeated 4 times for a 4 minute tabata circuit. During the intro, Caroline previews every exercise you will be doing. There is a timer in the upper right hand side of the screen counting down your intervals and recoveries. Caroline previews the the exercises again during the recoveries at the very beginning of each tabata circuit (but that is the last time you get a preview). She also shows easier modifications for some of the exercises.
