Tabata

The Tabata Training method of working out is by far and away the best form of exercise for fat loss, anaerobic, aerobic and over all body conditioning.

Developed by Dr. Izumi Tabata a sports scientist from the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Tokyo Japan his 1997 study compared the effects of longer, lower intensity exercise with bouts of short very high intensity exercise.

Using a unique interval training method the athletes participating in the study increased their aerobic fitness by 14% and anaerobic fitness by 28% in just 6 weeks!

It’s worth noting that the subjects Dr Tabata used for testing were already accomplished sportsmen and not just beginners which make this study even more astounding.

Even more incredible is the fact that the total actual training time per week was just 30 minutes.

Here’s how it works…
 
The Tabata method involves performing 8 – 10 sets of 20 seconds very high intensity exercise separated with 10 second recovery periods giving a total training time = 4 – 5 minutes.

The principle of the Tabata Method is that all the intervals have to be done at 100% intensity – an absolute flat out effort.

You have to strive to perform as much work in each 20 second interval as possible and try to maintain that work rate for the 8 – 10 sets.

The old adage that you can train long and easy, or short and hard has never been truer than when describing the Tabata Method!

As with any type of exercise, Tabata Method should be preceded by an appropriate warm up of 5 – 10 minutes and followed by a cool down of similar duration.

All in all the session could take as little as 15 minutes…perfect for anyone who is short on time but still wants great results from their training.
