The Tabata Method is considered by many, including myself, as the most effective routine of High-Intensity Interval Training, or HIIT, that being said it is the most rigorous an strenuous by far. Shockingly it has the shortest duration. It only lasts from anywhere from 4-9 minutes, thus depending on the amount of repetitions you choose to do. The results produced by this workout give you as much muscular endurance as forty five minutes of normal cardio training. This is an advanced cardiovascular routine. It is great for weight loss and improving aerobic and anaerobic athletics.
The
Tabata Workout consists of a ultra intense repetition lasting 10
seconds then going to another ultra-intense repetitions for 10
seconds, followed by and medium-intensity exercise lasting for 10
seconds, unlike most HIIT routines there are no warm-ups or cool-down
periods for the duration, which is why is the the most intense.
In
order to get the most out of this workout(which already will ask more
of you than you may want) you have to sprint as hard as you can for
twenty seconds during those intervals, twenty seconds may not seem
like a lot but when you are sprinting for that long over and over, it
will seem unbearable.
There are Tabata app timer you can download on
certain smartphone app markets. There are also workout musics built
for Tabata, 20 seconds of action followed by a slower paced music. Tabata is very adaptable to other kinds of workouts. Such and the
push press or front squat, anything that will put stress on your
large muscle groups(legs and upper body). In my experience
kettlebells are golden for this type of routine. For a lighter
workout using the Tabata format resistance bands would be suitable.
