Questions people ask
How many Tabata rounds fit in 15 minutes?
Three four-minute Tabata blocks with a minute of rest between them, which is twenty-four working intervals in total. That is more than enough for one session.
Is a short session worth it on a busy day?
It is the session most likely to actually happen, and consistency across months matters more than any single workout's length.
Do I need equipment for the 15 minute tabata timer?
No. Everything in the plan above works with bodyweight and a patch of floor. Add kit if you have it, but the session should not depend on it.
