We’ve all probably eaten and drunk way too much over the past couple of weeks, and most of us are probably dreading getting back to the gym. Whilst it is common to feel like you might not have time to go, now with Tabata training, there really is no excuse to not work out.Devised by Japanese scientist Dr Izumi Tabata, the High Intensity Interval training workout lasts just 4 minutes, with 20 seconds of effort, followed by 10 seconds of rest. Moves are designed to target the whole body, or at least the major muscle groups, so you get a muscular workout as well as a cardiovascular one. For example, you could do press ups, lunges, squats and leg raises. Once you have done all these, you’ll be 2 minutes into it, so repeat the process and you’re done.Whilst it might sound way too good to be true, 4 minutes of this and we can pretty much guarantee you’ll feel differently about it.

Wayne Westcott Ph.D. C.S.C.S.Most older adults don’t understand that body weight represents 2 components, namely fat weight and lean weight.Together, the fat weight and lean weight (muscle and bone) define body composition as well as body weight.  People generally don’t realize that their body composition is much more important than their body weight, and they have little knowledge about the body composition changes that accompany inactive aging.A 60-year old woman may step on the scale and observe a weight that is 40 pounds heavier than her body weight was at age 20. She mistakenly thinks that she has gained 40 pounds of fat, but that is a serious underestimation of her situation. Women who do not perform strength exercise lose approximately 5 pounds of muscle tissue every decade of adult life (Forbes, 1976; Evans & Rosenberg.
