Today’s blog post features 2 tabata interval workout music finishers.

We employ finishers as any 4-5 minute high-intensity “killshot” finale to end our main workouts.

For example, we’ll do a 20-minute whole body workout using Boot Camp Dynamite’s 50-10 Five-Exercise Circuit, and then if the group is up for it, we’ll throw in a finisher to truly make sure that their bodies change on that given day.

I love using tabata finishers because they only last 4 minutes but the negative work to rest ratio (20 seconds on, 10 seconds off) allows for maximum metabolic disruption and thus greater afterburn in the 24-48 hours following the workout.

Many times we do a mandatory total body finisher to end a workout but sometimes we just ask our campers:

Are you guys up for a finisher?

If YES- what would you like to work on? legs, butt, abs, etc?

If NO- we’ll just stretch and foam roll (no need to beat a dead horse!)

Well, this question seems pointless since the answer is almost always “ABS,” but we like to best give our clients what they want after we have adequately trained the whole body from the main workout.

Below are 2 great tabata finishers that will have you or your campers meet your maker.

One finisher emphasizes the lower body and the other emphasizes the upper body/core.
