Thanks Michelle. That helped.
I got some new ideas from this and the first part of cardio. I am trying to go to single digit in body fat from current 15%(approx)

Yeah, in that case, just add HIIT (of any kind, including Tabata) on your off-days from lifting. I personally like Jump Rope and Sledgehammer Swings, but you can do it effectively with most forms of activity (including weights, actually - the technique is called "Barbell Complexes" and involves using a light weight for a set of movements consecutively [e.g. Deadlift -> RDL -> Clean -> Press -> Front Squat-Press [lower to behind head] -> Squat-Press [lower in front] -> repeat).

It depends on what you use for the intervals, but you can generally rely on the idea that 8-10 Tabata intervals will give you about the best cardiovascular workout you can do.
That said, they're not a complete exercise program in and of themselves. You should be doing some variety of strength training (e.g. lifting; I strongly suggest looking into the book and program "Starting Strength" for this) as well, and ideally some dynamic stretching and suchlike (e.g. leg swings).

It's essentially just a harder version of "regular" HIIT. If you can do 10-15 minutes of 30/30 (high-intensity/recovery) or are using an activity that's higher-intensity by nature (e.g. hitting a tire with a sledgehammer), you'll probably see good results with Tabata Intervals.
Note that it really is just HIIT, though. An advanced form of HIIT, but HIIT no less.
