Plus, you don’t need any equipment at all! In fact, using only your body is even more efficient since it eliminates time spent fumbling with buttons or tools.The moves in this workout are simple to do but cause some seriously heavy breathing—which is important since 20-second work intervals don’t allow much time for gradually building up your heart rate.

I’m sure by now you’ve heard of Tabata Training, or some version of it.Tabata training was designed in the 90’s by a Japanese scientist, Izumi Tabata and his colleagues, at the National Institute of Fitness & Sports in Tokyo. They compared the results of moderate high intensity training and high intensity interval training (HIIT) among athletes. They concluded that the athletes who performed HIIT saw increases in their aerobic (cardiovascular) system as well as anaerobic (muscle) system capacities, whereas athletes who did moderate high intensity training only improved their aerobic system, but had little to no increase in their anaerobic system.So what does that mean for you? Tabata training is an excellent training method to add to any fitness program.
