    I just had my daughter time me on this telling me when to start and stop and what was coming up next. I went full throttle the entire time, HRM says only 35 calories. Not even close to what I burn during a 40-60 minute run.

    Okay. Just got done. I think I was giving it my all but there is always room for improvement.
    HRM: 34 calories, 30 calories adjusted.
    Heart rate: Average 147 (81%), max 158 (87%)

    By burning as much as a 40-60 minute run they must be including the raised metabolism.

    I got 35 as well going full throttle ...

    ATTENTION!!

    Here is the link of the guy explaining it, showing you the workout and timing it... I just do it with the girl so I don't have to worry about my time. I have it saved as a favorite. I find it boosts my metabolism even if it doesn't burn the initial calories. I'm going on my third week here, almost 7 lbs down, been doing this for a few days. It's all explained in the video.

    Yeah...you're gonna die!

    I do a variation of this 2-3 times a week. My Tabata training consists of four different exercises - pick whatever you want, or use the ones on the OP's list. Some example exercises include:

    Burpees
    Mountain climbers
    Push-ups
    Lunges
    Bicycles for abs
    Planks
    Squats with dumbell shoulder press
    Variations on these............

    First exercise - do for 20 seconds, then rest for 10 seconds. Repeat 8 times (4 mins. total). Rest one minute.
    Second exercise - same timing as the first, and so on for all 4 exercises - 8 sets of 20 seconds, with one minute rest between each different exercise.

    The whole thing takes 20 minutes and I usually burn about 100 calories per session. You're supposed to go as hard as you can during each 20 second set. This type of high intensity interval training (HIIT) is highly recommended as a fat-loss regimen and is supposedly much more effective than steady-state cardio (say, 45 minutes on the elliptical at a steady, somewhat difficult pace). I personally have had great success with losing the last 10 pounds or so using this method, and it's a great time saver.

    The one the OP posted is a LOT harder. Good luck!

    Im doing Supreme 90 and one DVD we do is like this. It's called Tabata Inferno and it's 6 different rounds like this and it kicks my butt!

    For the record I HATE mountain climbers!!!!!!!!

    I just finished it. I was pretty sure I was going to die right around the second set of mountain climbers but I like it. I don't always have time to fit in a 5K walk but I can always spare 4 mins.

    I keep hearing how awesome this workout is. Anyone else done/doing t? I figure 4 minutes cant be THAT bad...right?

    Edit: Ok, so img tags dont work here. /facepalm

    Edit part deux: FIXED IT!
    Called Tabata protocol. Great workout if you're limited on time.

    One thing: EVERY EXERCISE HAS TO BE "ALL OUT" EFFORT, meaning 100%. By about the 3rd exercise if you're not practically spent, then you're intensity is too low. It's gotta be hardcore throughout.

    Also DO NOT TRY THIS if you're not decently fit. It's not a beginner nor intermediate workout.

    If you can't do the exercises, then you can also do it sprinting then walking, on the elliptical but crank the resistance to the highest level and same with a bike.

    I do this at the end of many a workout with my clients and they are laying on the floor when done.

    Tabata isn't supposed to burn a lot of calories. But it will raise your VO2 max which means if you do any aerobic work, you can work at a higher intensity for a longer duration.
    This is actually an anaerobic workout, so it will raise your resting metabolic rate and burn more calories when you aren't working out.

    This DEFINITELY doesn't burn as much as a 40-60 minute run! No way. It's definitely good.. but too short! Maybe if you do it multiple times, then it will be worth it. Jillian Michael's "Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism" has a lot of these same moves. Burpees, squat thrusts, moutain climbers, jumping jacks. It's really intense, and it's 45 minutes long. I burn about 600 calories doing that:) It's my favorite!

    Thanks for the link:)

    i dont beleive that this can burn more calories than a 40 minute run. hell, i doubt it would burn more than a 10 minute run (at a decent pace)

    has someone with a HRM confirmed this?

    This is just a form of HIIT (many previous posters identified it with the original tabata protocols, from the 1996 study of the same name). Interval training has shown great promise in rapidly increasing fitness with a smaller volume of work, and it is seems to be better at actually reducing adiposity. Even Chris Carmichael has gone over entirely to forms of interval training (the guy that coached Armstrong). However, the claims that it can burn huge calories, I assume, are based on EPOC, claims about which are falling apart in contemporary studies. Afterburn is dubious, and what has been observed only occurs after olympic level exertions. Use this exercise (if you can) to rapidly increase both V02 max (which will make longer running easier), increase strength, and to mobilize fatty acids. It will not, however, be enough to burn any large number of kcal by itself (the rate of burning calories is limited by availability of oxygen, which is limited by the liters per minute of respiration and max heart rate, and rate of cellular respiration).
