What is Tabata And Why Should I Try It?

Is this FOUR MINUTE workout the QUICK FIX you are looking for?

In addition to healthy eating this type of training could be the answer to all your fitness troubles if you often find it difficult to find the time to exercise.

Tabata is a type of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). It’s name comes from Professor Izumi Tabata who conducted an experiment on highly trained athletes.

And this is what he discovered…

I dramatically improved the athletes VO2 capacity (how efficiently the body uses oxygen) and their anaerobic fitness.

Today it’s used as an affective method to burn fat throughout the day as it can help to improve your metabolism.

How does Tabata Work?

If you are doing Tabata right you should feel the torture of this type of training immediately.

It consists of 8 ROUNDS of 20 second Interval Training, followed by 10 second rest periods.

20 Seconds On, 10 Seconds Off.

IT can be applied to all types of training whether that’s swimming, running, body weight training or strength training. But in theory you will need to do it with exercises that will allow you to quickly speed up the intensity.

You have to push your body to maximum effort in each exercise.

You shouldn’t be able to talk during the intense bursts.
