A 4-minute workout is blowing up on Pinterest and Instagram - and you can do it anywhere
Since 2015, Pinterest searches for "Tabata workouts" have more than doubled in the past year, and there are over 200,00 Instagram posts tagged #Tabata - and counting.
But what is it?
Tabata is a highly efficient, interval-based workout that is 20 seconds of intense exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated 8 times.
That's it. And while a four-minute workout might sound too good to be true, the Japanese physician and researcher Dr. Izumi Tabata who invented it found the results are pretty staggering.
In a study conducted by the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Tokyo, two groups of people were tested over a six-week period. The first group did one hour of moderate-intensity exercise five time a week while the second group did high-intensity Tabata training.
In total, the Tabata group did 120 minutes of exercise total while the control group did a whopping 1,800 minutes of exercise. The results showed the Tabata group had a greater increase in their cardiovascular system as well as their anaerobic system.
