We’ve got a great total body-sculpting workout which will help you burn fat and sculpt some sexy curves in just 4 minutes! How is that possible, you ask? By using the power of high-intensity interval training (specifically, the Tabata protocol). We’ve already talked about how high-intensity interval training helps you to get results faster and now you have the chance to get your sweat on and put that science to work!
