I've seen it floating around places such as pintrest, but I want someone's take on it. Is there any way that it can honestly boost your metabolism for up to 36 hours and all that stuff it claims? Its just 8 twenty second rounds of burpees, mountain climbers, high knees, and jumping jacks...

    It's called Tabata and certainly has its benefits.

    I stick with that with the most part, but I thought I'd get an opinion before I shoved it off the actual list of decent workouts.

    Mmkay! Thanks guys!

    precisely. tabata will kick your *kitten*...chew you up and spit you out...and make you vomit (or want to) by the time it's over (if done properly).

    The workout style is called Tabata. You do each exercise 8 rounds - go for 20 seconds as hard/fast as you can and then rest for 10 seconds so it takes 4 minutes each exercise. Then you rest (walk it out) for 3 minutes in between each. Basically a 30 minute workout. You can do any 4 exercises (even machines).

    I don't know if it boosts your metabolism for 36 hours, but it does burn some calories.

    We do Tabata at the fitness boot camp I attend. It does have it's benefits but I don't know if it's actually speeds up the metabolism anymore than any other exercise. It's a killer workout though---and I am always spent afterwards.

    And not meant to be done on a daily basis.

    Is that from a cow who hasn't been milked in weeks? Turned to cottage cheese? Poor Bessie.

    It will boost metabolism for YEARS, not just hours.

    And if that's too much effort, I can sell you a pill that will do the same thing.
