Title: Tabata Cardio - most intense thing you'll ever do
Post by: therealyoungguns on July 09, 2011, 12:53:50 PM: Try and beat my record! (80 burpees)

Post by: pluck on July 09, 2011, 01:53:09 PM: Yep. Makes getting on a treadmill a waste of time and less impact on the knees.

For anyone who has never tried this shit... just trying doing 2 minutes and you'll be huffing and puffing like a guy.

Post by: Swede! on July 09, 2011, 01:58:37 PM: Good job. I usually to tabata boxing intervals which is I would assume easier then that. 10 seconds feels like 4 in the end lol.
I need to get back to doing that shit morning/night again

Nice, I'd love to be able to try that, but you need all of those things to be able to, burpees you can do anywhere.

What is this bullshit
Title: Re: Tabata cardio- most intense thing you'll ever do
Post by: JP_RC on July 09, 2011, 02:13:54 PM: I did Tabata sprints before and it was good, but the problem with it is that my body got used to it too quickly. After about 3 sessions I no longer got the benefits.

I think its ok to do them every once in a while, but not very often, because the body adapts too quickly to them.

what benefits did you get from 1-3 session that you didnt afterwards? ??? your conditioning already at your highest potential?

Initial shock that promoted extra fat loss was lost after the first 2-3 sessions. I don't think my conditioning was at its highest potential, but any improvement that I got from Tabata was stalled after the first few sessions. For cardiovascular conditioning I prefer normal sprint work, sled drags and focus on short rest pèriods/supersets during weight training.

You can't possibly know that it's stopped working for fat loss after 3 sessions, you're either trolling or mentally inept. Which is it?

Yes its primary use is to increase conditioning, but as any HIIT cardio it can work for fat loss initially too.

It shows what I meant about the benefits coming to a halt after a few weeks.
