Baller Bulldog Posted August 21, 2011 Baller Share Posted August 21, 2011 A guy that I work with got me going on these Tabata style workouts. Its 20 seconds of as hard as you can go exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest, then repeat seven times for a total of 4 minutes. I do four different sets of different exercises with two minutes in between the sets. Perfect for my short attention span. It is a lot like a ski set, with the intensity of a short hard load followed by very little rest. I am coming back from a broken leg last fall and this has made a huge difference. Has anyone else on this site tried it? Thanks. "Do Better..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webbdawg99 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I've incorporated it into some of my training. It's definitely great for endurance for skiing sets. But whats best about it is the fact that it ramps up your metabolism for days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted August 21, 2011 Administrators Share Posted August 21, 2011 what if you do it for only 16.95 seconds and do it 6 or 8 times?

Baller Bulldog Posted August 22, 2011 Author Baller Share Posted August 22, 2011 Give it a try and let us know…. 20 seconds on and 10 off for eight gets an amazing burn going…. "Do Better..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bxroads Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Sounds pretty much like wind sprints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted August 22, 2011 Baller Share Posted August 22, 2011 A tabata is a bitch. That's one of the(if not THE) hardest workout we do at Crossfit. I usually feel pretty spent the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
