This week Podrunner brings you its second Tabata workout called 10-minute Tabata.

This is a high intensity interval workout that follows the Tabata pattern of all-out exertion followed by a rest period.

In this case, you'll go full out for 20 seconds and then recover for two minutes. Three sets of this and you are

done. There's a two minute warm up and a three minute cool down for a total of 10

minutes of training that will yield results equal to 45 minutes of moderate exercise.

Your workout can be almost anything.

Running, cycling, stair climbing, spinning, you can do push-ups,

pull-ups, squats, burpies.

The idea is just to go as hard as you can.

Rest and then do it again.

You don't have to follow the music's tempo. Just vary the intensity

of your workout to follow the intensity of the music. You'll get an upward chime when

you're about to go faster, a downward chime when you're about to do your recovery,

and a long downward chime as you head into your cool down.

that more Podrunner mixes become available. That's all at podrunner.com. This mix came about because a listener named Eric pointed me toward a New York

Times article on the subject. So let's send Eric our thanks and good vibes as we head into our

workout.
