Sorry bud, jumping jacks aren't shit compared to farmer walks on the stairmaster. 20lb dumbbells speed level 10 70 seconds on 1.5 min rest walking on treadmill, 8 intervals total. Not a chance you could do that.

Burpees are brutal.  A fundamental bodyweight exercise that kicks ass. Alternate burpees, chins and pushups it will knock you out quick.

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.

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.

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.
