Also check out our Client Jan Newsletter We have been using the Tabata system of training in our studio for several years now both in our Met-X-Fitness and in our more Blitz / Boot Camp orientated Pilates Mat and Reformer Class’s and because I know all about the excellent benefits and results of this style of training I rather stupidly assumed everyone else did too. I realized last week that this was not the case when on two separate occasions I was asked by a client and a trainer I was chatting with – the same two questions what exactly is Tabata? And how does it work? So here it is – Tabata, a high intensity, short duration effective exercise systemTabata – What is it?Tabata (developed by it’s name sake Japanese Professor Izumi Tabata) is a high intensity interval training system (HIIT) that since its inception has provided remarkable results – he originally developed this system for the Japanese speed skating team in 1996 Tabata – How does it work?

Email PrintWhile some trends in health and fitness come and go quickly, it appears that high- intensity interval training (HIIT) will be here to stay. According to an American College of Sports Medicine survey of nearly 4,000 fitness professionals, HIIT will be the hottest fitness trend for 2014. HIIT ranks in the top 20 for the first time in the survey’s eight-year history, surpassing other previously popular exercise regimes such as strength training, Zumba and Pilates.High-intensity interval training involves short bursts of intense exercises followed by a short period of recovery. Typically, HIIT workouts can range from 10 minutes to about 30 minutes, and little or no gym equipment is needed. Some studies have shown that HIIT workouts burn more fat than longer, more mundane workouts, and also could be better for your heart

Exercise training has received increasing recognition as a cornerstone in the prevention and treatment of T2D. Emerging research suggests that resistance training (RT) has the power to combat metabolic dysfunction in patients with T2D and seems to be an effective measure to improve overall metabolic health and reduce metabolic risk factors in diabetic patients. However, there is limited mechanistic insight into how these adaptations occur

The last week of Shake Up November is upon us. If you will recall; my intentions in creating this challenge was to shed some light on whether or not breakfast is really the most important meal of the day, the difference between “shaking it up” and juicing, the nutritional breakdown of a typical American breakfast, to share recipes and encourage you all to get some quality nutrition in your bellies to start your day off strong, and to create an eBook with shake recipes – But…there’s still one topic I’d like to cover. Intermittent Fasting and whether or not it’s right for you.Last week Monday I wrote about how, what, and when we eat has an affect on our hormones; which can directly affect how efficiently our metabolism is working. Keeping in mind that each person is different, composed of different genetics, some sleep/rest more than others, some exercise/train harder and more frequently than others…this is why it’s so hard to convince the general population that just because you read about a new diet/fitness trend on the internet and that “it gets you results quick and easy” it may not be right for you. The general rule of thumb: If it sounds too good to be true; it probably is.First, I know plenty of people who follow and intermittent fasting protocol and have great success in eating this way, their energy levels are great, they sleep well, they don’t have unusual cravings, and are able to maintain desired leanness and lower levels of body fat
