Tabata means short bursts with little rest. It is highly effective for fat loss. Intense interval work will raise the body's metabolic rate long after the exercise session is completed. Post workout fat loss is the end result.
What is Tabata Training?
- 20 seconds of an exercise followed by 10 seconds recovery
- Eight intervals are completed
- Total of 4 minutes
Tabata Training was developed by Izumi Tabata at the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Tokyo, Japan. His study concludes that there is greater fat loss and greater improvements in overall conditioning with a 4-minute interval routine versus a full hour of aerobics!
Here are some Tabata exercises you can do at home. Create your own combination and have some fun with it!
