  1. Tabata
Tabata workouts have gained some serious attention over the last few years and for good reason -- heart thumping, equipment free, and customizable is where it’s at, especially when on vacation! The format stays the same but the moves can always change. The structure: 20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest. The time for each interval can vary (sometimes 30 seconds of work, 15 seconds rest, etc.) but the general structure remains the same. Work hard, rest, repeat. Check out this 30-Minute Body Weight Tabata Workout.
