4 Minute At Home Tabata Workout To Lose Weight Fast
4 minute speed tabata workout
On today’s episode of Live Lean TV, I’m taking you through a 4 minute at home tabata workout to lose weight fast.
This tabata workout is all about speed.
We are incorporating exercises that require foot speed and overall cardio and core conditioning.
That’s right, during this tabata workout, we’ll be moving quickly from speed squats, to jump burpee push ups, to mountain climbers, to high knee taps.

If you have a jump rope, you can replace high knee taps with the high knees jump rope.
I admit it, I’m not taking it easy on you today.
But the good thing is, this will help speed up your results.
If you don’t hate me yet for kicking your butt in our previous tabata workouts, you’re going to get your butt kicked during this 4 minute at home tabata workout.
No pain guys
Also, one of the viewers is going to win a digital copy of my book, Awaken The Abs Within.

A1. Speed Squat
Reps: 20 seconds

Coaching cues: Press the start button on your tabata timer to begin getting your butt kicked. First exercise is 20 seconds of speed squats. This exercise is all about speed. Drive through your heels and use your arms for momentum. Focus on keeping your core engaged by flexing your abdominals and really give it all you got. After 20 seconds is up, take a 10 second break, then move in to the next exercise, jump burpee push up.
A2. Jump Burpee Push Up

Coaching cues: who doesn’t love burpees? After the 10 second break, hit the floor and complete the jump burpee push up. Yes, this full burpee variation includes both the jump and the push up. If the jump burpee push up is too difficult, modify it by removing the push up and just completing the jump burpee. But try to push yourself. Living Lean is all about getting out of your comfort zone and challenging yourself. Remember, this is all about speed, so move quickly. After 20 seconds is up, you’ve completed set number 2. Take a 10 second break, then move into the mountain climber.
A3. Mountain Climbers
Reps: 20 seconds
Rest: 10 seconds
Coaching cues: Mountain climbers are a great cardio exercise that also hit the lower abs. Get down on the ground on all fours and focus on keeping your spine in a neutral position by engaging your core and sucking in your belly. Remember, this tabata workout is all about speed. So move your feet quickly and drive those knees. Even though this is still the first round, you should be feeling it. After the 20 seconds is up, take a 10 second rest, then move into high knee taps.
A4. High Knee Taps
Reps: 20 seconds
Rest: 10 seconds
Coaching cues: If you have a jump rope, you can replace high knee taps with the high knees jump rope. If you’re doing high knee taps, focus on bringing your knees up really high. To ensure you’re bringing them high enough, place your hands in front of your body, then tap your knees to your hands. Also, suck in your belly and keep your core strong. This is a tough exercise to finish on, but you can do it.
Great job. That’s one one round. The finish line is so close. Rest 10 seconds, then complete one more round, starting with speed squats.
At this point, think about the finish line being only 100m away.
You are so close to being done.
Now wasn’t that easy?
