How many calories would I burn if I did tabata for 20 seconds at a time with a 10 second break inbetween and did it at 13 miles an hour repeated that 5 times then 17 miles an hour and repeat that 6 times then did 19 miles an hour and repeated that 5 times and then did 20 miles an hour and repeated that 3 times? Thanks0

There's no way to answer this except to say that 1. This is an HIIT workout, not Tabata or even really similar to Tabata protocol and 2. you'll need a HRM to find out how many calories YOU burn doing this.0 -
Tabata consists of 4 minute intervals, not 4 minutes total. You can do as many intervals of different exercises as you like. Standard 1hr classes, means about 8-15 intervals depending on your warm up and time between intervals. It's tough and very effective as cardio, strength training, and just feeling like a badass!
Happy Tabata-ing
Very wrong. Actual tabata IS only 4 minutes total, 20 second intervals of work followed by 10 second intervals of rest and is not conducted in a class setting. One thing to bear in mind is that most EVERYTHING you see being taught in a group class setting is very watered down/prepackaged for the masses and is in NO WAY like the actual thing it's based on. What classes call HIIT, not HIIT. What classes call tabata, not tabata.0 -

Actual tabata training cannot be done running, especially on a treadmill. It should be done with full body resisted movements, such as calisthenics. An example would be mountain climbers or burpees.0 -
Well, I'll disagree here. Sprints for 20 seconds with 10 second walks in between. Of course the sprints will get weaker and weaker into the minutes, but that's what Tabata is supposed to do.How many calories would I burn if I did tabata for 20 seconds at a time with a 10 second break inbetween and did it at 13 miles an hour repeated that 5 times then 17 miles an hour and repeat that 6 times then did 19 miles an hour and repeated that 5 times and then did 20 miles an hour and repeated that 3 times?

I suppose, but it cannot be done on a treadmill simply factoring in the motor speeding down/slowing up.0 -
Unless off course one can actually jump on and off the treadmill while it runs at max speed for the runner. But I wouldn't recommend it because face plants don't increase you VO2max!

I would say you'd have to do the sprints on a track or outside.

I have Amy Dixons Breathless Body and BB Vol 2 The Edge. I'm pretty sure what she does is tabata. Her workouts are 50 minutes long with bursts of intense workouts and 10 seconds rest in between each set. With a bit of a longer rest in between each circuit. Like 30 second or a minute. Not exactly sure.. I personally love it and it makes my workouts go by so much faster and I always get much better results.
Nvm, I'm guessing they are HIIT and not Tabata. Still awesome.0 -
My trainer does Tabata workouts with me, as I already get my cardio and weight training done on my own the rest of the week. I LOVE it! An example of the one we did last week:
Each individual exercise is done for 20 seconds on, 10 seconds rest, then on to the next one.
1 - 2 minute rest in between each "round" of exercises.
We do 4 - 8 rounds depending on how much I can handle.
-Clean lifts, 20lb bar
-Rope (the big rope you see on Biggest Loser)
-Push ups
-6.0 mph sprint on treadmill
Sometimes he'll throw in tire flips, sledgehammer swings, etc. Anything I can do continuously for 20 seconds non-stop.0 -

Absolutely incorrect.
Tabata IS a 4 minute workout set consisting of 20 seconds work/10 seconds rest intervals.0 -

I love Tabata! We do them at my gym for a good 30 minute workout! I'm normally drenched in sweat when I am done and burn a good 500 calories..... that's alot more effective than walking the treadmill for 30 minutes.0

This is actually HIIT and not Tabata. Tabata is 100% balls to the wall effort on the exercises.

I went to a course the other day and the instructor was pronouncing it ta-tar-ta training. It was quite frustrating as I actually speak a bit of japanese
But clearly, the teacher knew more than me about the training protocol just couldn't pronounce the word properly. 0 -
Yup, I do this once a week at my gym, an entire class! It is killer, but I KNOW I've done my job by the time class is over, and the time flies by!Someone asked for an example Tabata workout:
After overhead squatting, we did Tabata X 4
(20 seconds on, 10 seconds off - 8 rounds of this for EACH of the following):
-Air Squats
-Jumping Air Squats
-Lunges
-Jumping Lunges
We rested for about 60-90 seconds between each exercise. (When I record this, I write down my lowest number I got on any round).
As someone else asked about, I don't do this to replace a workout or solely do Tabata. Sort of an "in addition to", and after lifting.
(Please feel free to correct me if this isn't officially what Tabata is!)0 -

I am practically dead after each round. Which is why we go 4 - 8 rounds...depending on how much I can handle that day.
It porbably is a little more HIIT than Tabata, using the Tabata format, I guess.
But it's a damn good workout!0 -

I'm sure you're killing it each round. Super hard HIIT (which sounds like what you're doing) with multiple rounds ain't no walk in the park and not many can actual do it. So good job!

Just completed my first Tabata Bootcamp class this morning by a Tabata Bootcamp certified instructor (official website: http://www.tabatabootcamp.com/). KILLER workout. I was dead at the end - from head to toes. Definitely a full body workout experience. Class was at 9 am. I managed until 2 pm and then took a 2 hour nap ... Ugh. I am now awake and logged in to my MPF account for the day. Almost wished I hadn't taken the nap because I woke up SO SORE! Hey, can't wait to go again ... may have found my new favorite workout. Definitely not a daily thing because it is very intense and body needs recover time, but think it is going to be a great way to create some interesting variation during my workout week.0

i do Tabata sprints sometimes...talk about freaking brutal ..you would think that 20 seconds is not that long to sprint..until you hit sprint number three and the timer has not gone off and you are already gassed....
Like some others have said, I would not replace them with a whole workout but they are great to mix in on HIIT work or end of weight training...0 -

you did Tabata for five hours?????? How are you still alive?
No offense, but I think your "tabata bootcamp" is a tabata scam...

If you're gassed by 3 then you're doing it right! When I instruct Tabata, it's always at 5 minutes before the end of class. Do they all put out 100%? I doubt it, although there is one guy who seems to give it 100% on every round because he ends up on his knees after the 3 round and every round till 8.i do Tabata sprints sometimes...talk about freaking brutal ..you would think that 20 seconds is not that long to sprint..until you hit sprint number three and the timer has not gone off and you are already gassed....

You have been arguing your point all the way through this thread. I am stating what I attended, what it was called, where it is initiated through and what I liked about it. If this is your soapbox, you should take it up with the organizations all across the country that are using the term. From reading this thread, Tabata is the guy who discovered some info through scientific research. Now folks are patterning their activity around his research. Great compliment to him, in my book. It is the same as people who refer to the Xerox machine at work when it is actually a copier made by a different company. I wonder if you use "Saran Wap" at home? Doesn't everyone know it's not Saran Wrap? It's plastic wrap.

No silly, it was a 9 am class - 50 minutes long, stacking different Tabata cycles for different parts of the body, using different weights, cardio, exercise ball, etc for strength training, cardio and core work. When the class was over, I was exhausted and dripping in sweat, but managed through my day until 2 pm when I hit my front door, at which point the nap ensued ...
Anecdote: For those of us who WERE going all out with each cycle, I did not see anyone in the room who made it through all 8 periods of each exercise cycle. But since "NinerBuff" didn't teach it, I am sure it wasn't the real thing and just a knock off ... its okay though. I am so sore today - from head to toes - that I know it was a "kick-your-butt" work out that I will go back to again and again.0 -
Hooray! Zombie thread!
It's good to know that this nonsense has been going on for a while. In the UK, they've just been taken up by one of the largest chain gyms here.
I have taken it up with them, asked them for evidence and reported them to a charity that asks for back up for scientific claims in the media.
We will see a huge change if trading standards ever decide to get involved with anything in the fitness industry.0 -
Not arguing, but correcting misinformation. It's actually more of an insult IMO to Mr. Tabata, to refer a 50 minute "HIIT" class (which is also acknowledged by the site you mentioned) as his actual protocol. He specifically designed the protocol for Olympic speed skaters to help increase VO2 max. We're speaking of 170% of VO2 max which is the highest amount of oxygen that the body burn and use for energy. That's why it's ONLY 4 minutes long. If the athletes weren't reaching that level, then the protocol wasn't performed correctly. Why the protocol? It was designed to improve the performance of the skaters.You have been arguing your point all the way through this thread.

The majority of so called Tabata workouts are watered down versions of HIIT training which is why attendees can do 50 minutes worth of it. You may work and sweat hard, but it's NOT the same as Tabata protocol.
Semantics? To you it may be, but I believe it's important to pass on correct information to those that really want to know about it.
