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?

High Intensity Tabata Training – Skinny Gene

January 22, 2014

Tabata Training is a High Intensity Interval Training Workout that lasts four minutes and consists of several different exercises, 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off (rest periods after each exercise.) There are many forms of full workouts, exercises to incorporate, and each workout can be designed to give you a different result, depending on what goals you are working towards. Tabata Training is great for calorie burning, muscle endurance, agility & speed progress, and lean muscle development. Technically, you should stick with the four minute workout in these specific 20 second on, 10 second off “zones,” however, if you are a first-time “Tabata-er,” or a deconditioned individual, you may choose to change this based on your current fitness level.Tabata training was born after Japanese scientist Izumi Tabata and his colleagues compared the results of moderate intensity training and HIIT. The study evaluated two groups of speed-skating athletes. The first group trained on ergonomic cycles at moderate intensity for one hour, five days per week, for a total of six weeks.

With the notion of boosting fitness in just four short minutes, it’s no surprise that Tabata training is all the buzz. What originally began as a high-intensity interval training protocol performed on a cycling ergometer by Japanese Olympic speed skaters has now morphed into workouts that combine everything from plyometrics to traditional resistance training exercises using the same format: eight cycles of 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest. To investigate the benefits of this intense type of training, the American Council on Exercise® (ACE) enlisted the research team at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse to examine the true calorie-burning potential of a total-body Tabata session.In the study, 16 moderately fit to very fit men and women completed two 20-minute Tabata workouts.
