The Tabata method is 20 seconds of hard training followed by 10 seconds of rest and repeated 8 times. Hence its alternative name, 4 minute workout (8 x 20 second effort + 8 x 10 second rest = 4 minutes). What sets the training is the intensity of each set, which should be as hard as you can! If you're not completely exhausted after your workout, you haven't gone hard enough.
High-intensity interval training has a greater impact on both the aerobic and anaerobic systems.
Tabata training can boost your endurance and keep your metabolism going for up to 36 hours after your four-minute workout. The secret is short but intense exercise with short rest periods.
