Have you ever felt like there isn’t enough time during the day to exercise effectively? NEXKY has a solution for you! Introducing.. TABATA!
Tabata consists of JUST 4 exercises in ONE SET. Each exercise is 20 secs of intense workout followed by a 10 secs rest. Repeat the set 1 more time, and you are done! This 4-minute fat burner may not seem as tiring as it sounds, but it is going to require your UTMOST effort during those 20 secs bursts of activity.
Example Routine: Total : 2 Sets = 4 Mins
- Burpees (20 secs) + 10 secs rest
- Lunges (20 secs) + 10 secs rest
- Push Ups (20 secs) + 10 secs rest
- Squats (20 secs) + 10 secs rest
The routine above is just an example that you may follow for a full-body workout. However, you may switch up the order as you desire. You may also incorporate tabata into other forms of bodyweight exercises.
NEXKY has observed that we often give ourselves the liberty to make up excuses as to why we are unable to train. Luckily, Dr. Izumi Tabata and his colleagues from the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Tokyo invented the “TABATA.” It is a well-known High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and was created to improve the Olympic Speed Skating team in Japan. It is also scientifically proven to increase athletes’ overall performances (aerobic and anaerobic) in a short time.
NEXKY GUARANTEES!
Dr.Tabata had compared 60-minutes of moderate-intensity training with the 4-minutes Tabata routine. Evidently, the results have shown that the latter helps you lose weight faster than the hour-long training you are likely doing. As Jeff Cavaliere from Athlean-X always say, “You can either train hard or you can train long – but you can’t do both!”. No more excuses as you can start this routine in the comfort of your own bedroom without having to head to the gym!
Tips!
- If you feel that the 20:10 interval is way too intense for you, you may start with 15 secs of HIIT and 15 secs of rest. Slowly work your way up to the 20:10 interval as your body progresses.
- Use a timer on your mobile device to keep track of your timing instead of counting it in your head, as you may lose concentration when you fatigue. You may also follow workout videos on Youtube to boost your motivation as well!
