Loose pounds fast, in as little as 4 minutes! Huh?

Sounds too good to be true I know, try it yourself … You be the proof you need

Studies have confirmed that the powerful “after-effect” of interval training is more effective for fat loss than low-intensity, continuous exercise.

It’s called TABATAS

Remember, you must put forth your BEST effort, the intensity of this 4 minute fat loss workout will shock you!

Please! a 4 minute fat loss workout sounds like a gimmick but trust me I know, but do some research for yourself and see.

“…after 6 weeks of testing, the inventor of this 4 minute fat loss workout, named, Dr. Tabata noted a 28% increase in anaerobic capacity along with a 14% increase in V02Max in advanced level athletes. Dr. Tabata’s test was extremely effective because it  yielded positive responses on individuals who were already in shape.”

TABATAS training

NOTE: With interval training, you get what you put into it. Half-hearted efforts will not yield the results you crave.

So give it all you got when performing a 4 minute fat loss workout and don’t do them every day.

This 4 minute fat loss workout is setup like this:

Always begin with a 5 minute warm up and cool down after the workout.
8 rounds of
:20 seconds active
:10 second rest

In the beginning you may want to do a more evenly distributed work to rest interval like 15 sec active and 15 sec rest.

You can use any exercise with this 4 minute fat loss workout. Movements like squats, burpees, mountain climbers, push-ups. Try using compound multi-joint movements to incorporate as many muscle groups as possible for fat loss and muscle building.

Use a timer, if you have an iPhone or Droid, I suggest downloading the Tabata Timer. You can also pick up a Tabata for less than $20 by visiting the link at Amazon. The gymboss timer omits an audible beep signaling you when to stop and start.

If you don’t have one it’s best to get someone to let you know when to go and stop or worst case use a clock.

I wouldn’t perform these 4 minute fat loss workouts every day. Because you need to give your all to the Tabata workout, I suggest 2 to 3 days a week. Try to add a wide variety of exercises to your 4 minute fat loss workout. By adding various exercises, you can increase muscular endurance in the whole body.
