It is a New Year and time for New Ideas! I am tired of the same old routine. I have been working out for a while and I want something that takes me to the next level!
Recently I have been trying the Tabata method of training. So far it has been kicking my arse. I usually feel like the end is near and a little like crying, but I always make it through.
The Tabata method basically consist of 4 minute rounds. Doing high intensity exercise for 20 seconds with a 10 second rest and than repeating that 7 more times for a total of 8 rounds or 4 minutes. For example, doing stationary squats you want to squat up and down for 20 seconds and then stand and rest for 10 seconds. I try to always get the same or more amount of squats in, that way my intensity stays up.
So if you got a spare 4, 8, 12, 16 minutes give this method a try with 1 or more exercises. Today I did 8 different exercises and man was I beat. Give it a whirl and let me know how it turns out.
In good health,
B
