In a study published in 1996 Izumi and other researchers found that this mode of training was actually far more effective than other traditional modes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the study, Izumi took a number of Olympic speed skaters and divided them into two groups. The skaters in the first group were required to exercise by doing intense 20-second bursts followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated for 4 minutes. They would do this four times a week and on the 5th day, they would do some steady-state training.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second group had a more relaxed yet longer lasting training program. They exercised 5 days a week for 60 minutes with no breaks but at half the intensity of the first group. After 6 weeks of this study, Izumi and his fellow researchers found that the Olympians who trained at a high intensity had much greater cardiovascular, anaerobic, and endurance fitness than the more relaxed group &#8211; despite having trained for a much shorter time period &#8211; the Tabata group had only exercised for a cumulative 76 minutes a week, while the other group had worked out for 5 hours a week (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/acsm-msse\/Fulltext\/1996\/10000\/Effects_of_moderate_intensity_endurance_and.18.aspx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In light of this, a tabata workout can be defined as a type of timed HIIT <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/tabata-weight-loss\/\">workout<\/a> where you exercise for 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off (rest) for eight consecutive rounds for 4 minutes. If you choose, you could just workout for these four minutes and be done for the day. However, some people consider all the exercises done in these four minutes as 1 set. They do 4 sets -with a 1 minute of rest per set &#8211; for a full 20 minutes training circuit per day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Read More: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/benefits-of-tabata-workout\/\"><i>Benefits Of Tabata Workout<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2273&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Tabata_Lose_Weight\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-47402 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Frame-207625-1024x576.png\" alt=\"tabata lose weight\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Frame-207625.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Frame-207625-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Frame-207625.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Frame-207625-1635x920.png 1635w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Frame-207625.png 1729w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_The_Benefits_Of_Tabata\"><\/span><b>What Are The Benefits Of Tabata?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some reasons why you should consider adding this exercise to <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/lunges-muscles-worked\/\">your routine<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_Time_Efficient\"><\/span>It\u2019s Time Efficient<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As previously mentioned, tabata lose weight exercises are among the shortest routines available today.

In a comparative study published in 2015 in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">researchers found that HIIT <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/saq-training\/\">exercises<\/a> burned anywhere between 25 to 30 percent more calories than other forms of exercises i.e. weight lifting, endurance running on the treadmill, endurance cycling (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25162652\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, HIIT exercises help your body burn calories long after your workout is done. While burning calories as you\u2019re working out is good, to lose weight you must try and make sure that your body is expending energy even when you are resting. In 2014, a comparative study published in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> journal found that despite HIIT workouts taking a shorter time to complete than traditional workout modes, they still helped your body continue to expend energy, even 24 hours a workout (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/24773393\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A year later, another study done on women also found that HIIT (high-intensity interval running in this case), produced greater post-exercise resting energy expenditure as compared both to high-intensity resistance training and<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">aerobic endurance exercise (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/27747847\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">14<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A more recent study done on about 58 adolescents (both boys and girls) found that Tabata is quite effective in reducing body weight, waist-to-hip ratio, and body fat percentage (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7038039\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Read More: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/tabata-intervals\/\"><i>Tabata Intervals: The Science Behind This Killer Workout<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2273&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Tabata_Lose_Weight\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-47397 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Frame-207620-1024x576.png\" alt=\"tabata lose weight\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Frame-207620.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Frame-207620-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Frame-207620.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Frame-207620-1635x920.png 1635w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Frame-207620.png 1729w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span><b>FAQs<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_The_Cons_Of_Tabata_Workouts\"><\/span><b>What Are The Cons Of Tabata Workouts?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>It\u2019s a very brutal workout <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; While most types of HIIT workouts can be considered as intense, nothing quite compares to the intensity needed to complete even a single set (4 simple minutes) of a Tabata workout. Remember that this workout demands a 20:10 system (20 seconds of all-out effort followed by 10 seconds of rest) for about 8 cycles. This system is hard for anyone, but more especially for beginners. It might be easier and safer for you to first try other types of exercises before diving into this one<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Consistency can be hard <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; The easiest way to stick to a workout plan is to find something that you enjoy doing as it increases your likelihood of sticking with it and achieving your goals. While Tabata for weight loss can help you reach your goals, it&#8217;s very hard to enjoy and thus very hard to like. You may find yourself avoiding workouts which would interfere with your consistency.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tabata_Vs_HIIT_What_Is_The_Difference\"><\/span><b>Tabata Vs. HIIT: What Is The Difference?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The simplest way to explain this is that tabata is a form of HIIT and not all types of HIIT are Tabata. There are many kinds of HIIT exercises that exist today. The main difference between them and this is that Tabata demands higher intensity and has shorter and more rigidly defined workouts. Basically not all HIIT exercises come with a 20-10 pattern. Most are actually more flexible and have longer rest times.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_20_Minutes_Of_Tabata_Enough\"><\/span><b>Is 20 Minutes Of Tabata Enough?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you look up guidelines for exercise, the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CDC <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recommends either 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity activity, or 75 minutes a week of vigorous-intensity activity or an equivalent combination. The <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">World Health Organization <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">on the other hand, recommends at least 150\u2013300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity or at least 75\u2013150 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity; or an equivalent combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity activity throughout the week (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/physicalactivity\/basics\/adults\/index.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/physical-activity\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">13<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Using these guidelines, it is clear that 20 minutes of tabata are enough to keep fit and even lose weight effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Reasons why BetterMe is a safe bet: a wide range of calorie-blasting workouts, finger-licking recipes, 24\/7 support, challenges that\u2019ll keep you on your best game, and that just scratches the surface! <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2273&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Tabata_Lose_Weight\">Start using our app<\/a> and watch the magic happen.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2273&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Tabata_Lose_Weight\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-47369 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Frame-207639-1024x576.png\" alt=\"tabata lose weight\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Frame-207639.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Frame-207639-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Frame-207639.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Frame-207639-1636x920.png 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Frame-207639.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_It_OK_To_Do_Tabata_Everyday\"><\/span><b>Is It OK To Do Tabata Everyday?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, it is not. A statement that applies to all kinds of workouts, not just Tabata. Rest days are an important part of every workout routine. They allow your muscles to rest and repair themselves, allowing them to heal and grow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With rest days you are more at risk of injury, mental exhaustion, reduced endurance, burnout (both at the gym and in life), etc. If you want to try the tabata lose weight method, we suggest doing it 4 days a week, do some cardio on the 5th day, and rest for the sixth and seventh day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Tabata_Burn_Belly_Fat\"><\/span><b>Does Tabata Burn Belly Fat?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, it does. As mentioned above, tabata, like all other kinds of HIIT workouts, is incredibly effective in burning calories and weight loss. Infact, according to one study published in 2013 in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Journal of Sports Science and Medicine, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this workout burns anywhere between 240 and 360 calories in 20 minutes &#8211; an average of 15 calories per minute (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3772611\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). With such high numbers of calories burned in just 20 minutes, tabata will certainly help you lose belly fat.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottom_Line\"><\/span><b>The Bottom Line<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If tabata lose weight exercise is your chosen weight loss method, then you are certainly on the right track to finally getting rid of those stubborn pounds. Like all HIIT workouts, Tabata not only burns a lot of calories during the exercise session, but it helps your body continue burning calories even while you\u2019re resting, which does wonders for weight loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, this exercise is quite intense so it\u2019s advisable to practice caution. If you have any underlying conditions, please speak to your doctor first before attempting this workout. For beginners in fitness, please either choose easy tabata workouts for beginners or better yet, work on your cardio fitness and strength ( through traditional cardio and weight lifting workouts) before attempting this routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2273&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Tabata_Lose_Weight\" target=\"_blank\"><video autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"muted\" playsinline=\"playsinline\" width=\"777\"><source src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezgif.com-gif-to-mp4-2.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\" \/><\/video><\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What would you say if someone told you that by just working out for 4 minutes a day, you could reach and even surpass your fitness and weight loss goals?
