Time has become scarce in modern life, between work, friends, family and rest, there are times when there is no time to maintain the habit of exercising. If that is something that happens to you, Tabata training is the option that will allow you to stay in good condition in the shortest possible time.
This method was developed in Japan by Dr. Izumi Tabata, especially for the Olympic speed skating team in that country. Once this method was shown to improve muscular endurance, as well as aerobic and anaerobic capacity with the same exercise system, it was not long before it became popular outside of high-performance sports.
Tabata is a high intensity interval training that consists of performing 8 sets of 20 seconds each, performing the highest number of repetitions in that time, and always taking 10 seconds of rest between them. This type of method, better known by its acronym in English HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), allow your body to continue burning calories even after the training is finished, which will depend on the intensity and cardiovascular exercises you have done.
But not only is its effectiveness to burn fat attractive, it also considers that you only have to invest 4 minutes a day and that you can do it in the comfort of your home, ideal for those who have little time.
Start with simple exercises like squats and climbers. The first exercise strengthens most of the body's muscles, mainly those of the legs, which include the quadriceps and hamstrings. While the second, works all the muscle groups that make up the core (abs, glutes and lower back).
The previous exercises should be performed under the following interval: 20 seconds of the first exercise followed by 10 of rest for 8 rounds. Then, after a 60-second rest, you will do 8 20-second rounds of the second exercise with 10-second breaks.
That simple you will be burning fat and improving your cardiovascular health without wasting any time.
Finally, it should be noted that given the physical demands of this type of training, you should not practice it daily and whenever you seek to raise the level of difficulty of the exercises, try to consult a specialist.
