DO TABATA

The most common excuse I hear from clients about NOT exercising is… “I have don’t have enough time to exercise!”

After what I will explain here… you can NO longer use that as an excuse because TABATA will only take you 4-mins (actually only 2 mins & 40 secs of intense exercise).

TABATA (by Japanese scientist Izumi Tabata in 1996) is HIGH-INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING (HIIT). Australian Family Physician (Dec 2012) published a finding that revealed High intensity interval training (Tabata) resulted in a significant reduction in subcutaneous fat, chiefly abdominal fat. So, if you want an exercise that is quick to do, you can do anywhere, will improve aerobic & anaerobic capacity and help you lose that visceral layer of fat then you need to do this.

As a beginner, perform the intense exercise intervals at a moderate intensity and gradually increase to a high-intensity level. You can jog on the spot, go up and down stairs, sprint, skip rope, do star jumps – whatever you like. Remember to do a five-minute cool-down at the end of your workout – short leisurely walk barefoot walk around the block. Allow 2 days in-between Tabata sessions.

CAUTION: If you are new to exercise or have a health condition, then you should consult with a health professional as you may require specific assessment or instruction before commencing a HIIT (Tabata) program.
