Never in my adult life have I had a garbage disposal. And believe me, every time I scoop those little food bits out of the sink stopper/strainer after washing the dishes, I wish I did. Because this chore is disgusting. Of course, I know there is a better way: I have fond memories from my childhood of just rinsing my plate into the sink and grinding those scraps away.

Recently I heard someone suggest tossing food scraps into the toilet. Huh. I can see it making sense: We flush human waste out of our homes through our plumbing, so shouldn’t our toilets be able to accommodate dinner waste as well? It seemed bizarre and yet totally logical, so I called Paul Abrams, public relations director at national plumbing specialists Roto Rooter, to learn more.

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
