I always try to design my Wedding Cake Workouts to be short and sweet, and give you the most bang for your buck in a short amount of time. Because seriously, we are all a bunch of busy freaking babes!! Trying to take over the world be successful, happy, and healthy is basically a full time job…plus then there’s, you know, full time jobs. And classes. And social engagements.

Always Eat Your Cake: Wedding Cake Workout: Spotlight On Tabata …
Heres an important word for your body to learn: Tabata. Its the name of a form of interval training that relies on a simple pattern of 20 seconds of exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest. That doesnt sound so bad, but once you repeat the cycle eight times a standard round of Tabata it can be enough to make you see stars.

Tabata ThisTabata ThatTabata HereTabata ThereTabata EverywhereFrom Tony Gentilcore“Tabata Training” Has Become THE Thing of the Minute…..Classess, workouts, even certificationsSo what is Tabata?The generally accepted definition: “Eight rounds of ultra-high-intensity exercises in a specific 20-seconds-on, 10-seconds-off interval.” That means all out for 20 seconds, rest and go at it again for four minutes straight.That’s REALLY hard.But it’s not magic, it’s just interval training.Think about it….Why eight and not nine rounds? Or 16 or 100?Why are people doing 30 minute Tabata classes when the study was 4 minutes of intervals?Cause you Got This Sh@t Wrong Broseph.Enter Izumi Tabata, he did this study: Effects of moderate-intensity endurance and high-intensity intermittent training on anaerobic capacity and VO2max. Med Sci Sports Exerc. (1996) 28(10):1327-30.“this study showed that moderate-intensity aerobic training that improves the maximal aerobic power does not change anaerobic capacity and that adequate high-intensity intermittent training may improve both anaerobic and aerobic energy supplying systems significantly, probably through imposing intensive stimuli on both systems.” – Tabata et.alSo everybody was all like,“We can get fit in only 8 minutes and all we have to do is these intervals for 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off?”And the fitness industry was all like…“HELL YEAH!”Except they left this part out:You need to work at 170% of Vo2 Max for the 8 intervals.170% of Vo2 MaxI’m gonna make a guess:You’ve NEVER been close to that number for this amount of time and quite possibly NEVER at all.They used a stationary bike in the study for that reason……once things get REALLY hairy and you’re form starts to fall into sh@t realm you can continue to pedal your azz off and not get jacked-up.You ain’t doing that with pushups, jumping jacks, burpees, or whatever….Ohhh, and they used ELITE level (national level, Olympic hopeful) speed skaters.Stole this pic from Reuters.comSo I’m guessing they had some training in being totally fucking miserable uncomfortable while maintaining power output (they train they’re whole lives for it) and some pretty strong legs, considering you skate……..on the legs.Here’s What You Need To Know:There’s no magic in 8 rounds of 20 seconds on 10 seconds off.That’s jut the protocol that resulted in the best outcomes in the study (for the group studied), and they used 8 rounds because they athletes (subjects) physically couldn’t continue to produce 170% of Vo2 Max for any more intervals consistently.“Tabata” It’s really just incredibly hard interval training…which is fine, and probably good for you in small doses if you’re in really good shape already.If not, an all out 2:1 work to rest ratio of all out exertion probably isn’t the best protocol for two reasons:Those of you that are intermediates will break technique and then break down when the massive fatigue sets in.

The Tabata Myth: It's Just Interval Training, Not Magic | Roy …
Wayne Westcott Ph.D. C.S.C.S.Men and women who do not perform regular resistance exercise experience progressive muscle atrophy.Research indicates that inactive adults lose about one-half pound of muscle per year during their 30s and 40s.(5,8) The rate of muscle loss may double to one pound per year in people over fifty years of age. (13) Unfortunately, the higher rate of fat gain masks the muscle loss. Adults typically lose about five pounds of muscle and add about 15 pounds of fat each decade during midlife years.Importance of resistance trainingBased on body-weight the average adult changes approximately ten pounds per decade. But, based on body composition, the average adult changes approximately twenty pounds per decade (five pounds less muscle and fifteen pounds more fat).A woman in her 50s may have fifteen pounds less muscle and 45 pounds more fat than she had in her 20s. This represents an unhealthy 60 pound change in her body composition, which increases her risk for a variety of devastating degenerative problems, such as cardiovascular disease, many types of cancer type 2 diabetes and low-back pain.While the focus is typically on fat loss (one out of two American adults is presently on a weight-reduction diet plan), more emphasis should be placed on muscle gain. This is due to the fact that the five pound-per- decade loss of muscle is largely responsible for up to a five-percent-per- decade reduction in resting metabolic rate. (5, 12) a slower resting metabolism means that some calories previously used by high-energy muscle tissue are no longer needed, and are therefore stored as fat.Because one pound of muscle requires between 35 to 50 calories a day for tissue maintenance, a 10-pound muscle loss may reduce resting metabolism by 350 to 500 calories daily.

Tabata training is intense: So if you don’t have the guts to do it on your own, find someone to suffer next to you. Trust me that’ll keep you going, if you’d have long surrendered if you had trained alone. Some gyms even offer special courses. Most of you will probably be familiar with the ultra-short + ultra-intense HIIT prescription that’s known as the Tabata protocol. Not really?

Fad diets are nothing new, but with the breakout success of the 5:2 diet, also called the fast diet, weight-loss hopefuls around the globe are turning to an unusual way of eating. Under the program’s guidelines, dieters eat normally for five days of the week and then limit themselves to just 500 calories for women, or 600 calories for men, on the other two days. The plan is based on a concept called intermittent fasting, and supporters report dramatic weight-loss results. But does this diet really work?The EvidenceThe fast-diet trend originated in the UK, and according to that country’s National Health Services website, research on fat-loss benefits is lacking. The NHS reports that in one study of 30 obese women, participants did lose weight when fasting one day a week.

Does Intermittent Fasting Really Help You Lose Weight? / Nutrition
There has been a lot of commotion lately about Tabata training. Everyone in the fitness industry is using it. It’s based on the research of Izumi Tabata and his colleagues at the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Japan. The protocol they used, which was based on the training that Japanese speed skaters were doing on the ice, included 7 to 8 x 20-second sprints on a stationary bicycle (about 170% of VO2max) with just 10 seconds recovery 5 days per week for 6 weeks. That’s a tough 6 weeks

Tabata seems to be one of the new fitness buzzwords, but in fact, it’s a concept that’s been around for over 10 years. In 1996, Dr. Izumi Tabata used a specific method of interval training for his study published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. In the study, he had cyclists perform 20 seconds of all-out effort followed by 10 seconds of rest. The participants repeated seven to eight sets of the exertion-rest intervals, equaling just about 4 minutes of actual workout time
