Tabata Infographic

2 October, 2013 by Giselle Rochford 11 Comments

Hey Hey,

As promised, here I am with my first installment of Workout Wednesday! Click on the Workout Wednesday tab for more details about the series and to find other posts in this category (when there are more).

The Background:

Tabata Training, founded in Japan, is a style of working out that has similar effects to cardio training, but without the wait. The Tabata formula is based around short, timed bursts of intense exercise followed by shorter rest periods and one set can be completed in as little as 4 minutes! Perfect for those who are strapped for time 😀

The Breakdown:

Tabata Training

The Sample

Here’s an example of a Tabata style workout that I did when I was first introduced to this type of training. It consists of four different exercises, each completed using the 20/10 formula for 8 rounds, with a minute of rest between exercises.

8 rounds of Jumping Jacks
1 minute rest
8 rounds of plank
1 minute rest
8 rounds pushups
1 minute rest
8 rounds burpees
DONE!

The Message:

Don’t be afraid to do less exercises or skip rounds if you need it! I know by the time I got to the burpees I was dead tired and stopped half-way through the 5th round! You can also rest for more than a minute or leave it out all together, but I found that at least 30 seconds before I could start the next exercise :).The beauty of tabata is that you can customize it to your needs.

Remember: The road to fitness is #stepbystep and YOU control the pace!
