Ever Heard Of TABATA Training?

TABATA is a High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) method that offers more health benefits than traditional cardiovascular exercise. It’s short, efficient and can fit in almost any fitness program.

There are many different forms of workouts out there, each giving a different result. Some will increase muscle mass, some increase strength, others will help you lose weight and so forth.

Cardio exercises are a popular type of exercise that help to improve endurance and stimulate fat loss. These types of exercises can be anything from long distance running, skipping, biking or even power walking. All of these usually fall under the category of Moderate Intensity Training because they tend to last anywhere from a half hour to more than an hour going at the same pace.

“Tabata” is the name of a particular type of workout program that provides similar health benefits to that of cardio workouts, but Tabata adds a bit more spice. Instead of hours upon hours or exercise...TABATA CAN BE COMPLETED IN 4 MINUTES!!!
