WHAT IS A TABATA?




Tabata training was developed by Izumi Tabata in Japan.  How a typical Tabata works is to do a cardio exercise as hard as you can for 20 seconds then rest for 10 seconds, repeat 8 times for 4 minutes of exercise.  You can repeat with a different set of exercises for 4 sets totalling a 20 minute work out.

The test results from Tabata research shows that you can substantially increase your fat burning potential in 20 minutes of intense exercise vs a typical 60 minute run/cardio routine.  SO Tabata training is interval training taken to the MAX!!

The key to a successful Tabata is intensity.  They can be a ton of FUN!  Remember to rest 24 - 48 hours after a good Tabata to help the body recover.

Wednesday May 25 at 6:45 pm at WECA come try a TABATA!!!  We will try this instead of the regular bootcamp.  Also come meet Beth and sign up for her 4 week BOOTCAMP in June.

Friday May 27 at 9:15 am at WECA come warm up with a little ZUMBA and then finish off with a TABATA.  Be prepared to have an awesome amount of FUN!!!!
