Tabata - Japanese interval training

Tabata is a popular form of exercise of Japanese origin. It is a high-intensity interval training developed by Japanese Izumi Tabata who researched in sports and health at the Ritsumeikan University in Tokyo. Tabata studies show that the method increases practitioners' lean body mass, metabolism and their cardiovascular fitness level more significantly than by longer low-intensity training.

A traditional Tabata block involves 20 seconds of very high intensity exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest and this sequence of each exercise is repeated 8 times. In other words, a Tabata block takes 4 minutes. We will run a traditional 20 minutes full body Tabata session involving 5 different exercises. We start with a 5-minute warm-up and finish with light stretching.
