I quite enjoy them, or at least the effect of them. They've done wonders for my running, really kicked up my endurance and my pace.0

Yes it is. But you are supposed to be shaking, gasping for air, dizzy and nearly vomiting at the end and unable to peform another 4 minutes. Tabata is supposed to last 4 minutes during which you push yourself to your absolute limit. What you did was high intensity interval training.0 -
I think i get it right mate
Thanks all the same0 -
Well its a good training method for everyone. A personal trainer is a best choice to get this training so it is good to hire a personal trainer. Anyway nice to read about this training.0

I like interval style type workouts. I feel like im dying but I feel like I get a lot out of them also.0

Here's a good elaboration of how Tabata supposedly affects your body, calorie burn, etc: http://muscleevo.net/tabata-intervals-fat-loss/
I think the upshot is that high intensity interval training of any kind if worth rotating into your exercise regimen, but it's not enough on its own, and probably isn't something you should do at every single workout.0 -
Yeah, I dont do it everyday
Nice to throw it in when I can;t run or am taking a day of lifting weights0 -
tabata timer exercising is great for increasing endurance and strength
I did tabata timer workouts on my days off (Tuesday/Thursday) for about 6 months..now I've added an hour of cardio on T/TH so tabata is out..I will still do tabata while on the road traveling when i can't get to a gym for my Mon/Wed/Fri workouts.. :flowerforyou:0 -
I notice the same Praire
Really helped my running pace, especially over the last one or two k0 -
Tried tabata yesterday - 20 on 10 off 20 on and then almost died...was not able to do more. Am so weak0

When i had a pt, he introduced me to tabata aswell. I downloaded the app and use it sometime, just to mix it up. I recommend rope slams/waves 10 seconds on, 8 seconds off.
Certainly gets your heart pumping0 -
I'm familiar with HIIT, however I just found out about this tabata stuff. Managed to find a pretty good youtube channel with various tabata workouts, so I'm going to give that a go before I consider investing in any DVDs. NOT looking forward to those awful burpees :S
youtube channel is POPSUGAR Fitness. A link to one of the workouts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axydnGTufOs&list=SP7E70CF0C6EE6813B&index=220 -

^^^This. People confuse Tabata with HIIT. If you're doing Tabata, you're done after 4 minutes.0 -
