Tabata Training - The Tabata protocol is a high-intensity training regimen that produces remarkable results. A Tabata workout (also called a Tabata sequence) is an interval training cycle of 20 seconds of maximum intensity exercise, followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated without pause 8 times for a total of four minutes. In a group context, you can keep score by counting how many lifts/jumps/whatever you do in each of the 20 second rounds. The round with the smallest number is your score.
Credit for this simple and powerful training method belongs to its namesake, Dr. Izumi Tabata and a team of researchers from the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Tokyo, Japan.
What I have written above is something about Tabata Training and how is it being done.
I have decided to try it out on myself on 17th May 2010. Tabata training consist of 8 sets per exercise.As i was new to the workout, i only tried 5 set before i was fully exhausted.Below are the list of exercise that i did:
1st set : Pushups (Incline,decline,normal pushups)
2nd set: Triceps ( Overhead Triceps, Tricep pushdown with exercise band.)
3rd set: Core ( Crunches, push-through,front plank,side plank)
Although I am training myself everyday, this is one hell of a workout for me.Remember that i am doing this at the comfort of my home.It only took me a mere 20 minutes to finish my workout but i feel like i have been exercising for more than 1 hour.
As usual, i drank my Nutrex Xplosion which i would recommend to people who wishes to build solid muscle and gain strength.
Will try to complete the 8 sets for my next tabata workout!
