Get the printable version of this seven-minute HIIT workout here!When it comes to high-intensity interval training (HIIT), the pros definitely outweigh the cons. While it may feel unpleasant to push your body to go faster and harder for that short time period, the rewards are worth it: HIIT helps you blast more belly fat, save time, and burn way more calories (even after your workout is long over) than a lower-intensity workout alone. A recent study published in the American College of Sports Medicine’s Health and Fitness Journal found that a few minutes of training at almost your max can accomplish all of this in way less time than a traditional workout.

Ever found yourself struggling to find time for a workout? The good news is that you only need four minutes to give your strength and cardio a boost with Tabata interval training. 4 minutes sounds easy enough, and not only that – you will be working for intervals of only 20 seconds at a time with 10 seconds rest in between. No problem!Tabata training was founded in 1996 by Japanese professor Izumi Tabata. He conducted tests on two groups of athletes comparing 60 minute of moderate intensity with 4 minutes of high intensity interval training.The results showed the athletes training in high intensity interval training improving their aerobic as well as their anaerobic system.

Photo Credit: Foundation CrossFitHIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) for Beginners: First of all, what is High Intensity Interval Training? It is a workout method that alternates maximum effort “work” intervals with low-intensity “rest” intervals.You can structure almost any activity into a HIIT workout, including running, cycling, swimming, rowing, walking, bodyweight movements, and even weightlifting.What are the Benefits of HIIT? HIIT is more effective than steady-state cardio for weight loss. HIIT induces the “afterburn effect” post-workout, meaning that you continue to burn calories from your workout up to a few hours after you are done. HIIT trains your body for explosive power, helping you jump higher, sprint faster, and be overall more agile.

Save7Favorite0 If you think you don’t have time for a butt-kicking workout this holiday season, think again. Tabata, a form of high-intensity interval training, can burn up to 13 1/2 calories per minute, meaning just a short workout will leave you sweaty, full of energy, and ready to take on your packed day. Try this under-20-minute Tabata workout from Sports Club/LA trainer Judy Truong; she guarantees it’ll leave you feeling “like you’ve been at the gym all day.” After a few minutes of warmup, start with Tabata One, and do each exercise for 20 seconds, resting for 10 seconds before you move on to the next move. Rest up to 30 seconds between each eight-move Tabata series, but make sure you keep rest breaks short to keep your heart rate up.

I woke up feeling slightly flat and just did not feel like hitting the full bodyweight workout. I decided instead to make it a Tabata day! That turned out to be the right choice. After the stretching regimen, I had a good, challenging, solid, BUT short workout! I did, however, substitute the rope jumping for the Tabata cardio, which I have to get back to

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) describes any workout that alternates between intense bursts of activity and fixed periods of less-intense activity or even complete rest. For example, a good starter workout is running as fast as you can for 1 minute and then walking for 2 minutes. Repeat that 3-minute interval five times for a 15-minute, fat-blasting workout. It sounds too simple to be effective, but science doesn’t stretch the truth.
