The basis of Tabata Training is 4 minutes of intense interval training/circuit training. What you are doing is taking an exercise we'll use sprints as an example here.
Sprint as hard as you can for 20 seconds
Walk for 10 seconds
Repeat 7 more times for a total of 8 sets.
So what you have is a total of 4 minutes workout time.
Tabata Training can be done with a number of different exercises the idea is to use an exercise that gets the whole body involved or at least the major muscle groups.Tabata Training can be done with Barbells, Dumbells, Kettlebells or just Bodyweight exercises. I'll give you some other exercises and routines to try in a minute but first let me give you some background and how Tabatas work.

HIIT Harder with Creatine

This article is for all of those people who have already discovered the joys of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)
According to this latest bit of research, supplementing with Creatine results in:

Improved workout performance during HIIT
Higher glycogen load found in fast twitch muscles (18% increase)
No difference in slow twitch muscles
Lower blood lactate levels

Conclusion
For improved HIIT performance, supplement with creatine.
In fact, if you perform any sport/activity that requires intermittent bursts of high intensity effort (hockey, fighting, track & field, etc), creatine should be part of your supplement regimen.
However, if your sport/activity relies on slow twitch fibers and aerobic endurance, creatine may not be for you.
Recommendation
There are a lot of supplement companies selling different types of creatine supplements.
In my experience, AllMax produces one of the better versions. Quality results with no side effect bloating.
