It includes:

20 seconds sprint Rest for 10 seconds Repeat for a total of 4 minutes

This program was developed by Dr. Izumi Tabata, and it looks very simple, but it will help you burn a great amount of calories.

In 1996, Dr. Tabata and his team of researchers analyzed 2 groups of athletes for six weeks. The first group did exercises with medium intensity for longer periods of time, while the other group did some high intensity exercises for shorter periods of time.

They found out that the athletes who were in the first group, increased their anaerobic capacity by 0% and their aerobic capacity by 9.5%.

The participants from the second group increased their anaerobic capacity by 28% and their aerobic capacity by 14%.

The main goal of the Tabata exercise program is to enhance the athletic performance. You should always start the exercise by doing longer and less intense sprints, with longer breaks in between. You should also do 60-90 seconds of medium intensity running, and then make a 60 seconds break.

After that, you should gradually increase the intensity and shorten the break and exercise times. When you start working out for the first time increase the duration of the exercise for a few minutes, and then work your way down to 4 minutes.
