When something sounds too good to be
true, it usually is. But I may have found an
exception: a simple workout that gives you the same
fitness benefits as a one-hour run, in four minutes.
And no, this isn't a dodgy late-night infomercial.
It's called Tabata protocol and it's a type of
high-intensity interval training.
Tabata intervals involve high-intensity bursts of
exercises for 20 seconds, followed by 10 seconds of
rest. Continue these consecutively for four to 10
minutes.
Choose one of the exercises pictured and perform as
many reps of it as you can in 20 seconds. The higher
your intensity, the better your results will be.
Rest for 10 seconds before going again. Perform
eight rounds in total (four minutes). Try to keep
your reps consistent each time. Perform a
five-minute warm-up before this workout and a short
cool-down to finish off.
This form of Tabata training uses more than one
exercise. Perform as many reps as you can of one
exercise for 20 seconds, rest for 10 seconds and
then move on to the next exercise for 20 seconds.
Keep going in this manner through four exercises.
Try a total of five rounds of 10-minute circuits.
