On today’s episode of Live Lean TV, I’m taking you through an awesome real-time tabata workout for abs and a tight butt.
Yes, you are four minutes away from sculpting a tight stomach and butt.
It’s Tabata Thursday, let’s do it!
I have to admit, this may send like a “girly” workout, but trust me guys, it’ll also kick your butt.Â
So if you’re ready, let’s get sweaty!
All you need for this tabata workout is your interval timer, a water bottle, and the floor.
That is it.
If you haven’t picked up and interval timer yet, get yourself a colorful interval timer here.
So let’s get started.
As always, try implementing this 4 minute tabata workout first thing in the morning to wake your body up, and/or as your workout finisher after your normal resistance training program.
This tabata workout for abs will help you burn more body fat quicker and help tighten your abs!
Here’s how the Get A Tight Stomach and Buns 4 Minute Tabata Workout is structured:
4 minutes.
The key is to give maximum effort during the 20 second high intensity interval.
After the 20 second high intensity interval, take a 10 second rest, then complete another 20 second high intensity interval, etc.
2 circuits.

Reps: 20 seconds
Rest: 10 seconds
Coaching cues:Â Pretend like you’re stepping over a fence, then immediately ducking under a wire.
Reps: 20 seconds
Rest: 10 seconds
Coaching cues: This is like the traditional forearm plank with a small modification to make it more challenging. Start by getting into the forearm plank position, then keeping core nice and engaged to keep your hips straight and parallel to the floor, lift one elbow off the ground and extend your arm to tap the water bottle or a dumbbell. This modification adds a nice twist the plank exercise. If the forearm plank tap is too difficult, complete the standard forearm plank. You can also modify the standard forearm plank by doing it from your knees.
Rest: 10 seconds
Reps: 20 seconds
Rest: 10 seconds
Coaching cues: Complete a reverse lunge then drive your knee up and forward with intensity. To maintain your balance, focus on keeping your core engaged. You should also be feeling this in your glutes (i.e. your buns). For the first round, complete all the reps with one leg, then switch legs for the next round.
Reps: 20 seconds
Rest: 10 seconds
Coaching cues: This is a great plank variation that targets the side of the abs, the obliques. Make sure your shoulder is aligned above your elbow. Lift your top leg if you want a little extra challenge. If that’s too difficult drop the leg and keep your feet stacked on top of each other. You can also make this exercise easier by doing it from your knees.
After you finish the first circuit you should be feeling winded.
Rest for 10 seconds, then repeat the A1-A4 exercises 1 more time, for a total of 4 minutes.
