Tabata may sound strange but it is actually An aerobic interval training technique.

Interval training methods known as (high-intensity intermittent exercise) are well known for improving fitness.

In an interval training session, high-intensity periods of work are matched with rest intervals. In this way a person can cover more distance at a high intensity than they could if they worked continuously. Because interval training is intense, it is a great method for improving both aerobic and anaerobic fitness.


The routine
Warm up: Ten minutes easy skipping, shadow boxing or jogging on the spot.

Work period: Stop, squat down until your thighs are level with the floor, then explode upwards, landing lightly. Repeat for 20 seconds.

Recovery period: Skip/box/jog for 10 seconds.

Repeat eight times. As your fitness increases, aim to jump higher or perform more jumps in the time you've got. Good luck!

As the title implies, what would be the correct sit-up technique. One thing that really matters is ankles, whether they should be held by someone or placed under something ?

Tabata, if my memory serves me correctly was invented by a Japanese man and it is very effective.

I wouldn't suggest you try tabata style training if you are new to exercise, it is very demanding and could cause you injury.

Tabata is a great workout and you only need to work for 20 minutes and you will feel like you have had an extremely good train.

The one thing to remember with tabata is to make sure whatever exercise you are performing whilst using the tabata style is to keep your technique correct! This will not only prevent injury but will also improve your training and results dramatically.

Technique is far more important than repetition!!!
