Houston Personal Trainer Demonstrates Tabata Protocol For...

[mistermatsuda]

Great demo! I would like to recommend that if you (the audience) are a beginner or very deconditioned, start with 10 sec. on with 20 sec. rest. Then as you advance, 15 on/15 off working your way to the this 20 sec. on and 10 sec. off. Same with the intensity - start with 50% on up to 100% as you get in better shape. Also, mix up the excersises. Mountain climbers, burpees, jumping jacks, incline pushups, etc. are some good bodyweight additions.

R u kidding me? Unless you are targeting the obese, where is the challenge in that? Quarter jump squats and knee push-ups? That wouldn't be a challenge on one leg or arm. Dude you just busted the myth that "white men can't jump"

@MultiAthlet Thank you for you reply and visiting my channel. This particular video was a guest video for a blog, whose readers are primarily just starting a fitness program. What may not work for some , may definitely work for many, especially in today's less-active society.

I started using tabata intervals last year and i feel it's the most effective system i have found to exercise. The key is sticking to the 2:1 formula and performing the exercises with maximum energy while maintaing the proper technique. Thanks for getting the word out, good vid!

thank you for going into detail about each exercise it helped alot. i was wondering if i can do this 5 times a week. or if i should do this and then some cardio. what are the best ways of getting results? i love your input!! thank you!!!!!!!!

[joshone]

No worries, smokingoddess.You could do this workout or type of workout a few times a week. I would not do it 3 days in a row, each week, continuously. You need active recovery days, as much as you have days you train hard. It's all about "balance." That's what the body loves.

[joshone]

Also, perform this style workout with full intensity, and let me know if your heart doesn't feel as if it is going to jump out of your chest. If it does, I don't think you have to worry about adding any traditional (and often fat-loss detrimental) cardio to your workout.

Like it Sincere, the gymboss takes all the guesswork out of it as well - just go hard till you hear the beeps :-)

[joshone]

yep, it makes life and training so much better, when all you need to focus on is your intensity, and not how much time is left on the clock.
