Tabata is still trendy!
Extracts:
The hottest fitness trends for 2015
are body weight training and high intensity interval training, according
to the ninth annual survey of 3,400 health and fitness professionals
worldwide by the American College of Sports Medicine
...
High intensity interval training, also known as HIIT, involves short
bursts of intense activity, followed by brief periods of rest. You can
burn more fat and build more muscle in the half hour or less it takes to
perform a typical HIIT routine than you can in an hour or more of
conventional aerobic or resistance training, multiple studies have
shown.
Japanese researcher Izumi Tabata demonstrated that in his
Tabata routine, 20 seconds of all-out cycling, followed by 10 seconds of
slow peddling, repeated for four minutes increased VO2 max (maximal
aerobic capacity) as much as did 45 minutes of long, slow cardio.
You’re
burning fat long after you’ve left the gym, because HIIT raises your
metabolic rate and keeps it high for many hours. A Tabata routine burns
fat almost exclusively, not both fat and muscle, as conventional cardio
exercises tend to do.
A typical Tabata routine consists of a
5-minute warm-up, a 4-minute all-out cycle, 2 minutes of rest, followed
by another 4-minute cycle with a different exercise, and a 5-minute cool
down. Another popular HIIT workout is Crossfit.
Boxmaster anyone?
