Firefighter Fitness - Schwinn Airdyne Tabata

Here's mhanson51's training partner performing a 4 minute Tabata style warmup on a Schwinn Airdyne. The Tabata principle is a 4 minute set of work with 8, 20 sec. hard/10 sec. rest intervals. It's great to use for building up endurance as well as a great intense cardio workout.

Schwinn Airdyne Tabata:
-20 sec. intense (arms & legs)
-10 sec. rest
-20 sec. intense (arms)
-10 sec. rest
-20 sec. intense (legs)
-10 sec. rest
-20 sec. intense (arms & legs)
-10 sec. rest
-20 sec. intense (arms)
-10 sec. rest
-20 sec. intense (legs)
-10 sec. rest
-20 sec. intense (arms & legs)
-10 sec. rest
-20 sec. intense (arms & legs)
-10 sec. rest

After the grueling Tabata set, the "Tabata Effect" takes place.

  • Airdyne is tough enough even without the Tabata intervals. This is a great way to finish off a "cardio" session.

  • this is the best video on the airdyne so far great job guys. I also do reps on my arms one at a time feel the burn.

  • I use these as a finisher to my workout at 20:10 for 4 minutes, rest 3 minutes, then do it all over again.

  • if you go all out, tabata airdyne is hell

  • i do this workout to and it can be tough as hell at first, but after the first month it gets easier

  • @2gsons It is also very much an aerobic exercise. Combining Air Dyne and the Tabata protocol results in a high powered, full workout that's safer for the joints. Remember to warm up a good 5-10 minutes before trying this at home.

  • @97575934534 Rest assured that that's as full a workout as most folks can handle at a time. That guy's has fulfilled his fitness requirement for at least the next 48 hours after that mega-workout.

  • Nice anerobic workout

  • Damn, that is a warmup? Looks more like half a workout to me.

  • I love the footage at the end! Looking forward to doing Tabata sprints on a track if Spring ever arrives in MN! Keep up the good work!
