Tabata Training


Tabata training is a 4 minute, very high intensity workout designed to help you achieve faster and often better results than longer workouts. It's usually accomplished doing body weight exercises like burpees, pushups, and squat jumps for 20 seconds at your maximum effort followed by 10 seconds of rest for a total of 8 rounds (4 minutes).

I've read study after study demonstrating the amazing benefits of tabata training versus other forms of training and at just 4 minutes it's much harder to say no to! As I've stated before, the best exercise routine for you is the one you'll stick to! I think it's pretty much impossible to come up with an excuse to not do a 4 minute workout.

For more information see the articles below and do a little research into this really cool form of training to see if it's right for you!
