To lose weight, you don't always need to spend hours at the gym. In fact, HIIT,
or high-intensity interval training, has been proven to be one of the
best ways to burn more calories and target belly fat. But just how short

PJ Stahl. According to PJ, the length of just one Tabata cycle is
enough to see the results that the interval-training technique is known
for, including fat loss, improved metabolism, and better endurance. "You
only do one Tabata four-minute protocol in your entire workout," PJ
says. "The reason that the Tabata program works is because I designed it
to utilise 20 seconds of beyond-maximum intensity followed by 10
seconds of rest for eight rounds, totalling to four minutes," he
explains. The trick is in the 20 seconds, during which you are supposed
to exercise past your metabolic threshold — in other words, an 11 on a one-to-10 scale of rate of perceived exertion.
