Tabata Routines - Explained (HIIT)

In this video Taylor (Registered Kinesiologist) explains how to perform a Tabata style workout.
Tabata is technically the 'original' form of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). It involves 20 seconds of MAX intensity effort followed immediately by 10 seconds of recovery, for 8 rounds (equaling 4 minutes).
Tabata workouts are a fantastic way to train because they are both effective and efficient, which is why many people are drawn to them versus traditional long cardio workouts. They are also very flexible and varied, meaning that you can switch out the techniques you use to keep things fun & interesting!
The main challenge is that Tabata protocols require you to push yourself to your MAX. This means that they can be very exhausting and mentally stressful, which many people cannot consistently stick to.
Watch the video to find out how to utilize this amazing form of training and to learn all of its benefits! (For one...It burns more calories than cardio both during and after exercising!)
We use Tabata in our NEW rehabilitation program for maximum efficiency! Learn more about our program here: www.rejuvfitness.ca

Here is an interesting study about the Tabata Protocol!

"Based on our results, variations of the Tabata Protocol seem to be indicated to provide increases in aerobic power that are similar to traditional aerobic training while being less time consuming"

Wonderful explanation.

Hi, I really like your squat progression ideas for beginners as it removes the tendency to overcompensate in different directions (e.g. leaning forward for tight hip flexors/weak glutes). I wanted to add a small bit of constructive feedback that your presentation is way better when you talk with your hands and express open body language from the beginning without fidgeting with the legs. Your presentation really opens up later on once you begin to demonstrate the activities and lose the self-consciousness of being on camera and not knowing what to do with your hands. Great video!

Glad you enjoyed the video Jordan!
I appreciate the constructive feedback as I am always trying to improve upon my video skills. I believe I have gotten a little better at least with these things in my newer videos, so here's to hoping that things continue to get better with practice!

Unfortunately it is too good to be true. After your 15 minute warmup (what Tabata did) and 10 minute cool down, your 29 minute workout being the same as a 27 minutes steady state run doesn't seem as good as sold.

Appreciate the critical feedback on the video Dan. I always encourage open discussion on any topics related to exercise as there is always new info & research coming out.
Tabata, if done properly & intently (to a maximal intensity for the full duration and to exhaustion), should theoretically burn the same amount of calories as a moderate steady state run.
In the end, it does very much depend on what techniques you choose for the tabata and how hard you can physically (and mentally) exert yourself. Hope that makes sense.
