Oh cardio, we love to hate you. You take forever; we run on a treadmill going nowhere. (Are we done yet?) If this sounds familiar, consider Tabata training — a super high-intensity workout that not only improves aerobic capacity in about four minutes per session, but also has tons of other benefits. Developed by Dr. Izumi Tabata, lead coach of Japan’s speed skating team, the Tabata method increases your anaerobic threshold with short bursts of hard, fast training via compound movements (which work several muscle groups at once)

I was recently talking to a friend who does a lot of weight training but not much cardio (he’s a boy!) and he was saying that he recently started including a Tabata workout at the beignning of his weights sessions and had reduced his body fat percentage as a result. I hadn’t really heard much but was intrigued…I did a little bit of research into it and discovered that people have had great sresults with Tabata training. The idea with Tabata is that it is 20 seconds maximum intensity exercise, followed by 10 seconds rest, repeated for a total of 8 minutes. Intense exercise raises our basal metabolic rate (BMR), when you do repeated short bursts of intense exercise, your body has to increase its BMR to handle these demands

by Jessica MurdenOne of the most well-known exercises in CrossFit is known as Tabata.  The Tabata method of training is based on high intensity interval training.  Developed by Dr. Izumi Tabata at the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Tokyo, Japan, the Tabata training method has become one of the most integrated and performed regiments in CrossFit.What is Tabata?Tabata is a type of training in which each assigned exercise is performed, for the max amount of reps, for 20 seconds, followed by a 10 second rest.  It is then repeated seven more times for a total of 8 intervals.  The total exercise takes 4 minutes.  The score is the least number of reps out of the eight performed intervals.What is V02 Max?V02 Max is defined as “the highest rate of oxygen consumption attainable during maximal or exhaustive exercise.” The point at which oxygen consumption begins to plateau defines the VO2 max or an individual’s maximum aerobic capacity.  A person’s V02 Max is one of the best indicators of cardio endurance and aerobic fitness.  Therefore, increasing the body’s oxygen uptake will increase athletic performance.How can this be done?  TABATA!A typical TABATA workout may consist of, but is not limited to:SquatsPush-upsSit-upsPull-upsBurpeesEach exercise is performed for 8 rounds, 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off.  Your score is the least amount of reps for each exercise performed.
