"HARDEST WORKOUT EVER???" Tabata HIIT Cardio for Fat Burning and Endurance 

Dude in the back had me dieing omfg. "I feel inspired to do like 8 push-ups .... naw I'm outta here"

people should stop dissing and start supporting eachother

What I appreciate is your authenticity in letting us see that even you had a hard time with this. People see you and think you're perfect (and you definitely look it) but fitness is about hard work. You don't get gains without sweat and sacrifice. You're inspiring even for us mere mortals.

The squat jumps are what kills it.

HARDEST WORKOUT EVER starts at 2:40 top left corner of the screen... beast wearing green...

finally a workout that you can see is clearly hard but pushing yourself even though it hurts you get it done and u have results. no matter the color or race... awesome video.. make me wanna try it out a few times.. great job guys keep it 👆

Love this tabata combo and will give it a go and share as well! Love those hand stand kick ups! All 4 moves are tough and anyone who tries this needs to understand with Tabata you are pushing your absolute MAX during those 20 seconds. If you can have a convo and are not breathless afterwards, you are not working hard enough. It may look 'easy' to some, but believe me this is tough. Great job BC!

awesome! i'm here because of the Julien video. and just have one thing to say: A lot of people will hate, few will do the work. Keep being brave and showing even when you "fail" (or do a video about it) it can be inspirational for those who are thinking about givin up. you are great!

Way to put it on the line. You may not have been in peak condition, but within 2 wks you'd be crushing the reps. Peace, Grace, & Respect.

all i noticed was at 2:45 someone swinging and then spinning like crazy

I thought that random guy in the background was going to join in on the workout after all that creeping with the pushups.

Where is all this hate coming from? Looks like an awesome workout for some hiit training. It's like the Insanity workouts, dynamic explosive movements. Half of you haters can't get anywhere close to this.

I found this workout a bit over a year ago, and it is still one of my favorite routines for cardio. Short and sweet, and hella effective

Doing this workout 4 years since it post and it is still a beast!

I repeat this every week or alternate week. I keep coming back to this workout as it packs a lot of punch for such a short workout. I think spending time in the Gym is useless, as most people keep walking around or looking at themselves in the mirror without much intensity. Doing such short but intense workouts is the way to go for people who are busy living a full life.

I finally managed to do this exact workout 3 times in a row. Thanks a lot for sharing. This was a great addition to my cardio practice when I like to switch things up. Cardio ftw!

I've lost just under 3 stone following Brandon's workouts and incorporating them into my gym routine, I would just like to say thanks Brandon for posting the videos and to all the keyboard warriors and nay Sayers get a life you can't knock a guy for wanting to help people get in shape!

I like how y'all nodded at each other at the beginning like we got this then at the end it looked like the video should have been called tabata pain and struggle

you the man bbc. One of the last real dudes on RU-vid anymore.Keep doing what your doing

yo, don't you guys know that everybody is used to his own personal workout. Btw, the fact that Brandon didn't give up and uploaded this, proves he is a man.

I Love how you gave up! Humble and absolutely Humane .. I AM going to finish this this afternoon ;-)

people hating when they can't even do this

Tabata is an ass-kicker by itself much less at the end of the workout. And, those were some intense bodyweight exercises to take on too. Anybody hating on this man for getting tired or whatever needs to put up or shut up and give it a shot yourself. BBC could just cherry-pick clips showing him at his strongest but he's real. Shows that there is always another level to reach for.

It's interesting how many people waste their time on treadmill or such for 45min a day and don't even know this is how to burn fat. Great video, thanks for sharing.

Alright, I've had enough. After doing this workout at least once a week for the last couple months and constantly seeing all the ridiculous comments (mostly from people who haven't even done the workout) it's time to clear the air on this shit. This is a TRUE Tabata workout (meaning Hajime Tabata would put his stamp of approval on it), most of what you see on youtube is not (including Fitness Blender). Tabata workouts are designed to be done at 100% so that your VO2 max is brought to its absolute threshold. That means this workout is as hard as you want to make it. If you're not pushing it as hard as you absolutely can (that means lying on the ground gasping for breath on the 10 second breaks), then you're not doing it right. If you DO push it that hard, this workout quite literally should be the hardest workout ever because you're pushing yourself as hard as you possibly can in the shortest amount of time humanly possible. If you're not doing that, then you're pussing out and the title of the video clearly doesn't apply to you're personal pussed-out version of it because you didn't do it right. Any TRUE Tabata workout is the same. Sure, Brandon Carter made a bold claim saying it's the hardest workout ever and he probably did it for click bait, but that doesn't change the fact that you will not find a harder type of workout than this. Tabata is f-ing ridiculously hard as long as you put the right exercises into it, which Brandon Carter did. And for all you idiots that keep saying Fitness Blender workouts are harder, shut the F up. I've done nearly all of Fitness Blender's workouts and they are not harder than this. Fitness Blender doesn't do true Tabata workouts, they do toned down versions of Tabata with loads of rest time, that is not Tabata and it is not at as hard. Point is, if you push yourself during this workout as hard as you possibly can, then this should be the hardest workout ever for you. It's all about personal effort.

Yo, Big B, this shit that you are doing is AMAZING! Before every workout i come to one of your "hand on training sessions" and watch and memorize. Mostly i just follow along and pause when i need a brake, but i always finish! One month in, lost 23 pounds in 3 weeks doing these every other day. Not only is the workout bad-ass, but the HIIT timer and "follow along style" is fantastic! Props, big guy, please make one every week with different combos. I see those shreds and think "that's going to be me in a while." You are the best inspiration and trainer i have ever had, bro! Keep it up man! Thanks, from the bottom of my heart!

6pm yesterday - this looks like a nice fun little workout. I run staircases and do KB swings. I'll be fine. 6.15pm - warmed up, jumped rope, let's hit it. 6.16pm - I am a warrior god!!! 6.20pm - I am a new born foal, my legs aren't working, what kind of torture is this? Friggn jump squats... This kicked my ass HARD. Love it!

im sure yall talking all that smack wouldn't be able to put urself in front of a camera and do this so respect for brandon for posting this even though he struggled with it

I am like guy @1:35. 3 pushups and DONE for the day.

3:43 it was only when he took his shades off i realised this wasn't vladimir putin :-/

No worries, brother. Always easier for smaller men, but brutal for both. Kudos to both.

This is a great workout as a cardio complement for a routine at home. I do this 3 times per week and has worked for me

There is no too much challenge for the human spirit :D We can do anything we decide to do. Some people fall into the trap of not being able to imagine themselves doing something that seems hard, but we should all know that unfortunately something we cannot imagine cannot be done, or in a more positive way, we can do anything if we imagine ourselves doing it.

Nice to see someone else someone else having a hard time with lunges... completely different level to me, of course, but still...

Omg...I love this workout 😍😍

This is real Tabata, I've seen other routines "tabata for beginners" and Tabata is definitely not for beginners... Good job!

cool. I like doing explosive movements like these for boxing. Thanks

You 2 inspired me, and at least 1 other guy on the background ☺

One thing that's important to understand: it's better to do a high intensity workout with less volume than to do a moderate intensity workout with high volume. For example, it's better to do 150 push-ups in 5 min than it is to do 300 pushups in 30 min. Push yourself till your insides feel like there cooking and your heart wants to explode. This may not be best if you're wanting to pack on size but if you're wanting to be ready for a street fight, this is the way to go.

It's surprising how many people are dissing the workout because of how effortless they make it seem. I dare you to try this workout and see how "fluid" it really is because of how easy you think it looks.

Did anyone else notice how perfectly the music lined up with their reps and rest times? lol.

It's funny how some of people say it's not hard. If it's not hard for you to do YOU SIMPLY DO IT WRONG. No one on earth can sprint for 4 minutes. Give your 110% and reach your limit to the point you crave oxygen and repeat this 8 times and then come back and comment.

I m a full time Lyft driver and I m going to this in my down time. Thanks for posting

1:45 lmao I felt the legs hurting. I was laughing my ass off with you not AT you haha

Love that you put it up!

Hey Brandon is there a substitute for the hand stand kick up? Lol I deffo can't do that

This video taught me to do handstand kick ups with ease! Thank you so much. I've been trying to do them for a minute but did it on my second try and hung in there with you two. I am pretty elated to say the least!

just did this and feel like im going to black out. this is an awesome workout. thank you brandon!!!!!!

Guy in the background had some good form

The student has surpassed the teacher..

One look at either of these guys and it's obvious a ton of work was put in before this video was even made. Armchair critics on RU-vid tend to be the same goofs afraid to take their shirt off at the beach, and/or the same goofs NOT at the gym or outside running at 6 AM. You don't get to BBC's level by bitching; you get there by DOING. Haters need to read Extreme Ownership, then make their own video of this workout AFTER reading it. No talk. Just walk. Much respect BBC. Flex all you want my man. YOU EARNED IT.

omg i just love this workout! i do it over and over again, but it never gets old! the music is so hype too!

R.I.P BBC.

Das gefällt mir so.

Doing an intense workout in public with no shirt on while wearing sunglasses. These men have my respect.

I did it and i’m 12 years old. To anyone doing this, you can do it, it’s not the hardest. God loves you and believes that you can do it.

i failed just by watching this video

I crush Tabatas several times a week. I remember the first week, years ago, I couldn't do one round. After 3 months, I was doing 40 minutes straight; lost almost 25 pounds in 3 months, never ran once, ate like a dirty pig too.

Just did this, wasn't as intense as I thought it would be to be honest, but def harder when you have as much muscle as Brandon. If anyone wants to really die, try doing 4x1 minute burpees at full intensity, 30 seconds rest in between. May the force be with you.

loved the rawness of the struggle of keeping on...

Hahah you were dying at there shit! I'll try it soon I'll be dying too. Also I dunno about others but it's better when we can hear you throughout the video so we don't have to look at the video for when to stop and start while doing it.

If this is hard then im the strongest man on earth.

the fact that people are talking smack shows the jealousy. keep doing your thing hombre. im working my butt off to do this workout

Guys!! Great that you show how tough such a ' simple' workout can be and how you struggle at the end. Instead of many videos on the net in which you only see how fit every one is and as if you never get tired. Having to do two plyo leg exercises is tough!

BBC you the bigger version of Shaun t

That lizard hops exercise is so cool.

I did fitness blender but didnt feel i worked hard enough, so i now do Mike Chang 15 minute hiit and Brandon Carter's stuff. I'm knackered afterwards but it has worked for me. Each to their own. I prefer to be utterly knackered when i finish not just panting

Y'all pple got so much hate in the comments, it's ridiculous. Unless y'all respond back with a video of your own doing the same exact workout and killed it, y'all shouldn't be talking cuz half of y'all probably have NO IDEA how intense this is. Give these boys some credit. At least they didn't edit out that they were actually tired and etc. They were honest and upfront about it. We're all a working progress. Not everyone is good at everything.

i changed handstand (lack of space) for burpees. Is that valid in this case?

I was winded and worn out just watching you when this was posted to facebook, however I was so impressed by it that I looked for it here on youtube to save and and make a goal for myself. Thank you very much for your honesty and brilliance!

Thanks for the warm up routine.

the guy in the background tryna join in on the action 4:46 lol

BBC gets tired fast because of his muscle mass...

You guys looked so cool with your shades and muscles at the beginning. Totally different story at the end! Big respect though guys, loved it.....

Man, you guys just gave the best of yourself! Thumbs up

These guys wear sunglasses at dark clubs too?

Lol,that black guy trying to do pushups in the background.......so much fail there,man.

This was the best fitness video ever. Can't wait to like. So many people won't show themselves failing. I needed this to remind me that fitness is a lifestyle complete with successes and failures. Awesome video.

Highly inspirational daymn look at the handstand n knee jumping alltogether yu gave a reason to hit the gym.😎

these would not even survive 3x3 min thai pad work. having abs dont mean you are fit, people in mma or muay thai do these as warm up than another hours of hard training on pads bags and sparring.. all you have is show off not fitness

I've seen fitnessblender workouts harder than this. 🐸☕

Your videos kill me daily but I can't stop and won't stop, I'm determined!!!! Thanks for giving me HOPE!!!! Woo hoooo I'm fired up

Bro this is killer my legs are gone!!!! thanks for posting man.

if your fat its really hard coz youl be out of breath with in 30 seconds

Still no vid from Jerry 'the mouth' Wilson hey. Gotta love a keyboard warrior :) ......awaits personal attacks........

I did 5 rounds of this at the end of my workout and definitely felt it!!! Hard grind

I managed to do it and with your 15 minute HIT workout beforehand, not boasting or anything 😂 keep these workouts coming I'm loving them

What is this crap this is completely dumb you guys are more worried about flexing your abs than being in good shape I get more cardio arguing with my wife

guys wanna show of???... i dare you to wear shorts and show them chicken legs..... leg days... remember leg days!!!

This is really a hard HIIT. Great job fellow.

the guy on the right shows the perfect example of why cardio training is much more important than heavy lifting

Brandon is tired because this routine is done after a regular workout. I guess.

Honestly not too hard

This instrumental goes hard!! I couldn't keep up at all lol nearly broke my neck with the headstands but YOLO you gotta try!!

Really these are the best exercises...ever......

The more muscle, the quicker you fatigue.

Hardest workout ever? Lol this shits easy.

at least u guys didn' edit the video. this looks really hard . I tried other Tabata exercise i know how it feels

Truth be told i thought i was a goner. But i made it through showing that my cardio was more on point then i thought. Great video. Ask that HIIT traning posted off.

Anybody who thinks this is easy probably didn't give it their 100%, cause this is hard as shit. Thanks for the workout Brandon!
