Your guide to Tabata training

In this article, we can see again that the original Tabata training protocol is twisted...

"This form of training can make one lose anywhere between 800 to 1000 calories and even more, depending on the duration of the workout." -> the Tabata training is supposed to last 4mn only and consequently the total amount of calories burned during 4mn will be lesser. 800 to 1000 requires almost 1h for an average weighing man.

"Ideally, the basic form of this training is a minimum of 20 minutes duration, but in my classes, we do it for a much longer duration and we give modifications. I also do a much more advanced variation called Yoga Tabata. Here, you hold a yoga pose during in between the workout breaks instead of just resting,"--> If you can do 'Tabata' for 20mn, it's just a form of HIIT or just interval training. As well, Yoga poses will never bring you to an intensity of 170 vO2 max.
