My recent workout adventures has brought to a very interesting method of working out. It consists of high intensity intervals and its been amazing! This method is called the “Tabata method” or “Tabata Protocal”.
The Tabata method was created by Professor Izumi Tabata. “The current regime consists of repetitions of 20 seconds of intense work, followed by 10 seconds of rest. This means that, excluding warming up and cooling down, the exercise can be completed in only 4 minutes if repeated 8 times, more than enough to make even a fit person exhausted.” – Izumi Tabata
I thought this was interesting so I developed a workout and put my own spin on it, while still adhering to Tabata’s basic principals. Check it out below.
Chest workout:
3 mins of warmup
- Jog in place
- Strech hamstrings,quads, calves, shoulder and back
Jumping jacks 20 seconds
Rest 10 seconds
Regular push ups 20 seconds
Rest 10 seconds
Ballistic push ups 20 seconds
Rest 10 seconds
Pyramid push ups 20 seconds
Rest 10 seconds
Complete four rounds and see how you feel. J
Stay tuned for my video of this coming soon!
