Are you thinking about starting your adventure with workouts? Or maybe you want to try something that will diversify your current physical activity? Tabata is a solution for those who want to take care of their condition and like short but intensive effort.
Tabata is a short and intensive interval training. What does it mean in practice? Within a certain time interval (i.e. 4 minutes) we perform intensive series of exercises, which are interspersed with short rests. The activity at the level of 90% of the maximum heart rate should last 20 seconds, and the rest itself another 10 seconds. We repeat such a cycle eight times, and each of the 20-second series should be a different exercise.
It is worth emphasizing that a complete tabata training should consist of a warm-up, from 2 to 4 cycles of exercises and stretching. Between the tabata itself it is also necessary to implement an appropriate break, which should last from 1 to 2 minutes. It is also important to perform the exercises as fast as you can. Only then it is possible to achieve the best results, which will be visible after the first workouts.
Starting your adventure with tabata, it is worth to know all the benefits. Regular training improves the efficiency of the whole body and improves the condition. Additionally, it is thanks to tabata that our organism increases its resistance to acidification, which is synonymous with increased endurance

Consequently, fat burning takes place even up to 24 hours after the activity.
