How to Get in Shape in Two Weeks Before Unofficial Summer Tabata is More Effective than Traditional Cardio
Tabata is five times more effective that traditional cardio. Tabata training will raise your heart rate, and metabolism immediately. If you want to lose fat fast, your metabolism will stay at that high not only during the workout, but after the workout as well.
Tabata workout examples include push-ups, squats, medicine ball slams, and jumping rope to name some. At Nex Level Fitness, Tabata classes run 45 minutes with 9 tabatas each class. Each exercise lasts 4 minutes, and the structure of the program is as follows:
- Work out hard for 20 seconds
- Rest for 10 seconds
- Complete 8 rounds
Michelle Bauer, Trainer and Owner of Nex Level Fitness says, “You push yourself as hard as you can for 20 seconds and rest for 10 seconds. This is one set. You’ll complete eight sets of each exercise sets. We combine intense cardio and strength training in each interval for a total body workout. With a Tabata, HIIT training, you can expect to burn anywhere between 500-750 calories in 45 minutes. Even better is the afterburn effect where you can continue to burn calories for up to 36-48 hours. Add 3 of these classes per week to your workout schedule for quick fat loss results.”
Here is one client’s testimonial:
“I love my Saturday morning Tabata workout. It is the perfect combination of cardio and strength. The intervals of high intensity really allow you push your limits in a short amount of time without compromising your form which I love. Then you get a little break between sets, which I love also. I found this 45 minute workout to be one of the most effective calorie and fat burning classes that I have ever taken. It is a staple in my weekly workout routine. The music and energy in the room are like no other class, so much that I am excited to go and even better, I feel amazing when I walk out of class!”
