Tabata















Tabata:
Squats
Sit-ups
Push-ups
Planks

J: 480 reps (lowest reps 8,9,6,20 sec)
H: 422 reps (lowest reps 7,5,8,10 sec)

The Tabata workout is a high-intensity interval training cycle of 20 seconds of maximum intensity exercise, followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated without pause 8 times for a total of four minutes. Your score is calculated by how many lifts/jumps/whatever you do in each of the 20 second rounds. The round with the smallest number is your score.
In 1996, Dr. Izumi Tabata studies conclusion was that just four minutes of Tabata interval training could do more to boost aerobic and anaerobic capacity than an hour of endurance exercise.

How effective can just 4 minutes of exercise be? Come and try it with us!
