I'm at a fitness convention for the weekend but NEED to share with you....
Something called Tabata.
I'm in love. LOVE.
It's twenty seconds on, ten seconds off. For a total of four minutes.
The twenty seconds on is balls to the wall, hardcore work to failure. You feel it the first second and wonder how you will last the next nineteen.
You can do any exercise as long as it is completely hardcore (and safe)
I will share more information when I come home, but I learned so much about why we work out until we are blue in the face and don't see the changes we want to see.
In the meantime, go google Tabata exercise if you are like TabaHUH?

Woah, that is intense. I watched a video for squats and I can see that after 4 mins I would be DYING

It's awesome right? I do Tabata sprints on the treadmill, and on the spin bike as part of my cardio workouts each week.

What I love most about it is that you can take any exercise and use it for tabata drills...
Supposedly, 4 minutes of tabata drills is equivalent to 40 mins of standard exercise!

I do these during boot camp and personal training with a bunch of different excercises. It's definatly an amazing workout and not time consuming at all!

I got the tabata pro. It was 2.99. Definitely not breaking the bank!

I have been doing something similar called Peak 8. It is 30 seconds on, 90 seconds off for up to eight intervals. I also was at a health expo last year and there was yet another version, but I don't remember the details of that one. I'll have to check this one out, too!
