Fort Worth Personal Trainers: A Tabata Competitor Workout (Your Weekend Workout VIDEO)

You should NEVER be bored with your workouts!

There’s NO reason for it.

One of the BEST things you’ll learn about exercise is even small changes to your workout can yield faster results.

What I mean is once you master the basics…

Even small alterations to your workout can keep it fresh and keep you progressing along.

I’m going to introduce to you the Tabata Competitor today.

The standard Tabata is:
8 Rounds of an Exercise
20 Seconds of Work
10 Seconds of Rest

For a total of 4 Minutes

Here’s the….
A Tabata Competitor (15+15 Intervals)

Listen, the Tabata program is not sacred, and should in fact, be questioned rather than trying to fit every exercise and interval into the 20-10 work-to-rest system.

After all, there has not been a fat loss study on the Tabata protocol.

As far as I know, it has not even been compared against any other interval training programs!

So let’s try the 15-15 system.

Below, I’ll show you a way to compare it against the Tabata and allow you to decide which method is better.

Warm-up for 5 minutes getting progressively more intense with time.

Perform an interval by exercising for 15 seconds at a very hard pace (9/10 intensity).

Follow that with “active rest” for 15 seconds at a slow pace (3/10 intensity).

Repeat for a total of 8 intervals.

Finish with 5 minutes of low intensity (3/10) exercise for a cool-down.

I’ve always wondered if the 20-10 method is as great as everyone says it is…so here’s a test you could do.

Using a track or football field (or other method that allows you to gauge the distance covered), do a 15-15 workout.

Sprint forward down the track or field for 15 seconds.

Rest 15 seconds by marching slowly in place.

Repeat for the remainder of the workout.

Record the distance covered.

Come back 7 days later and do a Tabata 20-10 interval workout.

Compare the distance covered between the two workouts.

Which one allowed you to cover the most distance?

Interested to hear your results.
