The Tabata method works great with bodyweight routines. It doesn’t require any equipment and can be done anywhere. If you’re not familiar with the Tabata method, it is simply:
- Choose an exercise
- Perform as many repetitions of the exercise for 20 seconds
- Rest for 10 seconds
- Repeat 7 more times
Below, Craig Ballantyine demonstrates two simple bodyweight exercises that you can use with the Tabata method: squats and push-ups.

Tababta looks like a good idea to me. Allows you to squeeze an intense workout into a relatively short period of time. Plus, with the bodyweight exercise you are getting an all round workout – not just a cardiovascular one.
You can find a Tabata Timer for your iPhone or iPod Touch at http://www.katr.com/iphone.php#tabata. It has visual as well as auditory cues so that you can watch or listen for your activity and rest periods. If you are listening to music on your device, the sound cues will overlay your music.
