Tabata Training | Thrive Personal Training

May 23, 2013

Tabata Training The tabata training method is named after the Japanese scientist who brought this type of training to the worlds attention following his 1996 study.Tabata training is a type of high intensity interval training (HIIT), an exercise strategy that uses short periods of high intensity work, interspersed with recovery periods. A tabata interval consists of 20 seconds of all out maximum effort, followed by 10 seconds of rest. This sequence is repeated 8 times (i.e. a total of 4 minutes).In my training sessions, depending on the session length and the client’s fitness levels, I will get my client to perform between 4-8 tabata intervals in a workout.Don’t let the shortness and simplicity of tabata fool you though.

Warrior Fit Testimonials

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.
