I am interested in this style of cardio. Can everybody post info about it here. Especially those who have gotten good results from it. Thanks.

*Bump*
Just finished some Tabata Burpees. Brutal. Still out of breath.
Tabata is very simple. Pick an exercise (let's just use burpees), 20 secs as many as you can do, 10 secs rest, repeat this for 8 cycles. You will be finished in 4 mins. Simple, yet an absolute killer.

Some personal anecdotes:
- It very quick & very effective
- I feel energised & my metabolism is boosted for 12-14 hours after.
- I alternate bouts of burpees with
kettlebell cinder block swings - There's definitely some hormonal release. 60-90 mins later it's time for an INSOMNIA retrospective & some 'manual intervention' .

Looks too hard for me. I'm a fat cunt and almost had a heart attack after the one i did today ;D
Good shit though. I'm gonna do it 3-4 times a week and add in a walk first thing in the morning a few times a week.

QFT
alot of the bb'ers/know it all's here will diss tabata and talk up the advantages of walking on a treadmill on a incline for 45 minutes only cuz they can't handle tabata

Hey Johnny, thought i'd ask, when do you do Tabata?
1st thing in the morning? post workout?
-
I prefer Taku intervals myself, but Tabatas are great.

JNN,
Where can I find a vid demo of such exercies? Not sure what a chirpee is.

Actually I just googled Chirpee and found a vid on it.
Lets see some of the other drills you incorporate into the tabata.

I'm looking at this the wrong way. I want premium results with as little time invested as possible.
My ass should be in the gym (or at least doing something physical...and golf doesn't count!) two hours a day, every day, period.
Even if I'm not training, that would be two hours when I'm not stuffing my face with food. lol

Have any of you guys tried tabata with weight lifting exercises
-
Yes, have used lifting movements with the Tabata interval method (excellent film clips). SLDL's, DL's, cleans/hi-pulls work well. The c&j also. You want compound exercises only, stuff that requires most of the body. Tough stuff, so might want to only do 2 cycles at first and than build up from there. Outstanding stamina (strength plus endurance) and fat loss. Will be breathing like a steam engine, but that's the point. And be done with it all after 4 to 8 minute workouts. 2 to 4 Tabata workouts a week. Good Luck.

i've been doing post weight workout tabata's with this exercise
...not as much weight though

i have used them with squats - just an empty bar, altough i didn't do any 5 min warm up or cool down. i just started them after my normal workout.
the burn and pain is incredible - worse than any i have ever known.
the pump is incredible - better than any i have ever known.
i could not walk afterwards, i could not breathe, my heart was ripping out of my chest, but after 30 mins or so of rest i felt amazing.
i can do 20-10 when i do full squats i.e. stand up completely and lock the knees with each rep. When i do not lock out at the top i can only get 3 mins - the burn and pain are too much.

CF/Tabata stuff nukes body fat. end of story. six days a week of that mixed with lifting and i'm, well, a little twig. but the point is it works.
