We’ve all probably eaten and drunk way too much over the past couple of weeks, and most of us are probably dreading getting back to the gym. Whilst it is common to feel like you might not have time to go, now with Tabata training, there really is no excuse to not work out.Devised by Japanese scientist Dr Izumi Tabata, the High Intensity Interval training workout lasts just 4 minutes, with 20 seconds of effort, followed by 10 seconds of rest. Moves are designed to target the whole body, or at least the major muscle groups, so you get a muscular workout as well as a cardiovascular one. For example, you could do press ups, lunges, squats and leg raises. Once you have done all these, you’ll be 2 minutes into it, so repeat the process and you’re done.Whilst it might sound way too good to be true, 4 minutes of this and we can pretty much guarantee you’ll feel differently about it.

Here is the complete story of how I found Intermittent Fasting and Leangains, got into the best shape of my life and totally hacked diet and fitness. All the progress photos are included from along the way. The good and the bad – warts and all.Let me start by saying – I’m a pretty obsessive guy.When I find something I am interested in I have no problem doing it for hours and hours even days without taking many breaks.This can be a bad thing if I’m interested in alcohol, drugs and downward spiraling my life into a black hole. But it can be a great thing if I’m interested in something that is good for me.These days I’m interested in the internet.I’d guess I sit in my computer chair for 12-16 hours a day, 7 days a week

Name: Sarah Jane ParkerState: WyomingWhen and why did you start working out?: I have been working out off and on since I was a teenager, but I didn’t really get serious about it until I was in college and I wanted to start getting serious about my fitness and health. I joined a gym, started doing group fitness classes and got hooked!What is your workout of choice?: Metabolic conditioning and metabolic resistance training. It’s such a good mix of weight lifting, cardio, bodyweight strength training, and plyometrics, it’s challenging and never gets boring. I have started to love running lately, but I will always love weight lifting.What is your favorite race, race distance, and WOD: My favorite race was the Survivor Mud Run my husband and a friend ran together last year
