Tabatas - or how to destroy your body in 4mins
I had a go at Tabatas yesterday.

The basic principle is that you pick some sort of full body movement (I picked the rowing machine) and go all out for 20 seconds and rest for 10 seconds. Repeat for 4 minutes.

I thought it was really tough but I did complete it.

About 10 mins later I tried the same using burpies. Oh my god. It's on a different level. I managed 2 mins before I had to do some serious floor hugging. I was totally wiped out.

Has anyone else tried them. What are the variations and what's your experience of them.

Re: Tabatas - or how to destroy your body in 4mins
I've heard it's an excellent fat burner. I felt warm all day after doing that although my gluts do feel sore today so I guess it must have worked.

I'm going for the full 4 mins on burpies next week. God help me...

Re: Tabatas - or how to destroy your body in 4mins
Tabatas are said to have the highest amount of GH release than anything, test production too.
So, the fat burning effects are not just limited to the exercise alone but afterwards as well.

I tried them on the concept rower but they kind of scare me, heart rate goes up pretty damn high.
