What I've Learned From Two Years Of Intermittent Fasting …

Adopting a philosophy of self-experimentation can make a tremendous difference in your life. Choosing to experiment with new ideas can help you start a successful business. Choosing to experiment with sharing your work can launch your career as a writer or an artist. And choosing to experiment with different diets and workouts can help you discover a fitness and health strategy that works for you.Image remixed from Skylines (Shutterstock).This post originally appeared on James Clear’s blog.Of course, self-experimentation is exactly the opposite of how most of us want to approach things. We would prefer that someone hand us a one-page sheet with the answers to our problems and say “Do this and you’ll be good to go.” Furthermore, if someone shares an idea that seems outlandish or weird, most of us would rather dismiss it than experiment for six months to see if it can actually work for us.Just to be clear, I’ve made my fair share of mistakes and have dismissed ideas without trying them in the past.

Tabata training is a type of High Intensity Interval Training, or HIIT.  This version of HIIT is based on a 1996 study by Izumi Tabata (a physiology professor in Japan) and his colleagues initially involving Olympic speedskaters.He conducted the tests on 2 groups of athletes; 1 of the groups used the moderate intensity interval training and the other using high intensity interval training.In group one; the athletes were training in moderate intensity workouts (70% intensity VO2max) for five days a week for a total of six weeks with each training session lasting an hour.Group two trained in the high intensity workouts for 4 days a week for a total of 6 weeks with each session lasting 4 minutes, at 20 seconds of intense training (170% intensity VO2max) and 10 seconds of rest.Group 1 had a significant increase in the aerobic system (cardiovascular system). However, the anaerobic system (muscles) gained little or no results at all.Group 2 showed much improvement in all their athletes. Their aerobic systems increased much more than group ones, and their anaerobic systems increased by 28%.Conclusion

Why Tabata Fails | Turbulence Training Fat Loss – cbathletics

Why Tabata FailsBy Kate VidulichHigh intensity interval training (HIIT) has exploded onto the mainstream fitness scene, and is a prominent part of every intelligent person’s fat loss training program. With this increased exposure, it’s no wonder someone got a hold of the scientific research on interval training and spun it the wrong way.Thousands of trainees are using one particular type of interval training – without a clue what they’re really doing.Tabata Professor Izumi Tabata and friends in Japan created this 4-minute ultra intense protocol and tested it on his Olympic speed skating guinea pigs in 1996.Today’s version of Tabata in commercial gyms is far from the real deal. Tabata training requires “exhaustive intermittent training consisted of seven to eight sets of 20-s exercise at an intensity of about 170% of VO2max with a 10-s rest between each bout.” That quote is from the study itself (1).It’s time to dispel the myths right now…Can the real Tabata protocol please stand up? (Rap on).Why Tabata FailsMistake #1: You’re NOT doing TabataHands up if you’ve read the study? If you’re not a science fan, it’s like alien language

Resistance Training: From Skinny Fat to Skinny and Toned Fast …

In the past, there were only two body types – you were either classified as fat, or skinny (the luckier type, obviously). But over the last few months, even thin folks are beginning to doubt just how healthy they really are. A new piece of jargon is making its way into fitness and nutrition vocabulary. The term “skinny fat”, which at first would seem like a ridiculous and conflicting concept, is being featured in morning talk shows, explained by nutrition and bodybuilding experts and is ultimately getting several opinions (and knitted eyebrows) from everybody else. To clear the confusion, here’s how to describe, in lay man’s term, characteristics that give one the skinny fat syndrome: If your BMI (basal metabolic rate) is within normal range and your body type is thin, but your body fat percentage is higher than normal limits If you are thin but have localized bulging areas and fatty deposits,  such as thick thighs, butt, hips or flabby arms If you are thin or may appear proportioned but you have love handles or a muffin top If your clothes make you look lean, but you are really flabby when naked If you are thin but your diet consists of junk, processed, and cholesterol – laden  foods In short, individuals who are “skinny fat” only appear skinny, but they have much too less muscle mass and more unhealthy fat in their bodies
