I hate saying this and it’s probably a little controversial, but when I see signs around my town here in GA about “Tabata Bootcamps” because the word “tabata” is cool, I shake my head.I’ll cut to the chase…There is NO ONE alive that can do a true Tabata for 30 minutes unless you’re a Tabata Jedi like these freaks:“Revealed the truth about Tabatas is” – YodaFirst, a tabata is NOT just 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest. Don’t underestimate the power of this 20-10 approach, it’s just not TRUE tabata.An example of using the 20-10 method is this:Bodyweight Squats (20 secs), rest 10 secs – 6 roundsBodyweight Squats work a lot of muscle and will get your heart pumping, but sorry… it’s not enough to be called “Tabata”.But it’s enough to burn calories in a short amount of time, so don’t dismiss it. And by the way, it’s a very simple finisher, too. (If it’s your first time, just do 4 rounds).Now about Tabatas…TRUE Tabatas are 170% of your VO2 Max).Most people cannot sustain this for a full 20 seconds, let alone a full 30 minutes.If you truly want to use the powerful Tabata method, then you will need to choose an activity that forces you to 170% of your VO2 Max like sprinting.That’s why if you do want to use Tabata training, it needs to be your VERY LAST part of your session

Melt Fat in Minutes with this HIIT RoutineNothing says fit like an all over toned body. While everyone has troublesome areas, and they may be tempted to spend all of their energy focusing on these areas, it is a common myth that you can actually spot-reduce fat. In fact, you have to melt fat all over, which isn’t really a bad thing if you think about it. Losing fat all over will give you a balanced, slim look that equates to an overall figure change.

My morning started off with me tossing and turning, hitting the alarm clock and extra time and grumbling about having to head out and train. Today I was scheduled to do HIIT sprints. It was my coach’s suggestion for helping me improve my pacing for this weekend’s race. Doing the 10km is no problem, I’m an endurance runner, but doing the 10km under a specific time..

No, I’m not having a momentary spelling blip, that is definitely Hiit with two ‘I’s. Hiit actually stands for High Intensity Interval Training, and if you’ve seen Kick Ass you’ll certainly be feeling as hard-core as Chloe Moretz’s character of the same name after 30 minutes of this!The studio, exclusively for women, is a vision in pink. Pink walls, pink exercise balls, pink mats – it’s a girly girl’s dream. But it doesn’t exactly scream intensity.
