This is completely new to me. Apparently a mix of CrossFit and circuit training:

You will burn 900 calories per hour!

For those that don’t know this exercise, tabata is a high-intensity workout protocol and has many fitness and weight loss benefits. It’s a mix between CrossFit and circuit training.
