What’s the best protocol for fat loss? Well, it may just be tabata.Tabata is a high intensity training protocol, named after its creator; Dr. Izumi Tabata is a Japanese researcher who conducted a study on elite athletes and found their fitness levels improved by 28% when they performed the prescribed protocol of 20 second intervals of high intensity followed by 10 seconds of rest for a total of eight rounds, equaling four minutes in duration.The key to Tabata protocol is to put forth maximal effort for each 20-second interval. Keep in mind there’s a big difference between maximal effort and an increase in effort, so if you want to blast fat make sure you give it your all!Why Tabata Protocol WorksPerforming steady state cardio and maintaining the same moderate intensity level throughout an entire workout for 30-60 minutes burns calories while you’re in motion. That’s all fine and dandy, but the benefit of high intensity interval training like Tabata is that you can sizzle calories not only during the working intervals, but also during rest periods and for hours after the workout is complete.

Wayne Westcott Ph.D. C.S.C.S.Most older adults don’t understand that body weight represents 2 components, namely fat weight and lean weight.Together, the fat weight and lean weight (muscle and bone) define body composition as well as body weight.  People generally don’t realize that their body composition is much more important than their body weight, and they have little knowledge about the body composition changes that accompany inactive aging.A 60-year old woman may step on the scale and observe a weight that is 40 pounds heavier than her body weight was at age 20. She mistakenly thinks that she has gained 40 pounds of fat, but that is a serious underestimation of her situation. Women who do not perform strength exercise lose approximately 5 pounds of muscle tissue every decade of adult life (Forbes, 1976; Evans & Rosenberg.

GD writes: “I have just heard of the Tabata form of exercise. Does it have any element of New age to it?  From what I read of it, it seems ok.  I would appreciate it if you could shed more light on it.”Dr. Izumi TabataTabata Training is not New Age and is a very serious and well-researched form of exercise.Designed by Dr Izumi Tabata of Japan, this training protocol involves 20 seconds of all-out effort, 10 seconds of rest, repeated eight times, in the course of about four minutes. He monitored the Japanese speed skating team in the 1990s and noticed that short spurts of extreme exercise was just as effective as hours of traditional training. This led to the development of Tabata training.Some of the exercises used during Tabata training include pushups, body weight squats, medicine ball slams, and sprinting or jumping rope.

For all of these out there making an attempt to shed fat, i would like to speak about HIIT, Large Intensity Interval Coaching. HIIT is based mostly on alternating among high intensity periods like sprinting (a single illustration) and reduced intensity periods like walking or jogging.Most folks is use to steady state cardio, jogging, operating, or strolling, often at a standard pace. HIIT brings in a change of pace, and it can be carried out in several diverse methods, you can do it on a treadmill, stationary bike, operating, sprinting or rope jumping. There are numerous approaches you can do this, the most popular approach is the “Tabata Protocol”.I will use the stationary bike for this technique, but you can do it in anyway you like, running, rope jumping, swimming, no matter what you prefer, and you can use a lot more than 1 workout in various days.
