TREND: Tabata
The training concept of Tabata comes originally from Japan and is one of those training exercises that are performed in the interval and where you go completely to its physical limits.
The trick is that during Tabata training sports phases alternate with breaks – usually in the ratio of 2: 1.
This means that you totally expose yourself for 20 seconds, then pause for 10 seconds and continue again. Anyone who thinks now that this is easy, he was happy too soon! Because a unit of Tabata training takes exactly 4 minutes and so that the training brings something and in the long run also upkeep, you really have to get everything out of yourself, what is possible. This is how Tabata works
In principle, you can do Tabata training with a variety of fitness exercises. Well suited are above all those exercises, which claim not only one muscle group, but as many as possible. Because then it does not matter if you stop after 4 minutes.
Since Tabata training is quite exhausting, do not overdo it – sounds unbelievable, but it really is! – and start with simple exercises.
