If you’re in the fat loss crowd, there’s no question that you should get to know tabata training. While it’s not a relatively new concept to hit the fitness stage, far too many people have never even heard of this training technique before and are largely missing out.

When done properly, the tabata training method may just be the most beneficial of all the exercises to lose belly fat you can do.

You know what’s more? It takes just four minutes.

Four minutes?

Most people out there are used to their 60 minute hamster-like treadmill sessions where they slave away on the ‘wheel’ for hours each week. And they don’t enjoy it! You really must ask yourself, are you getting the benefits you’d like from this? Are all those long, slow, cardio workouts getting you to your end goal?

Chances are they aren’t – otherwise, you wouldn’t be reading this right now.

Face the facts – long, boring cardio just doesn’t work and you’re a real live example of this so it’s time for a new way. The Tataba way. Let’s go over a few of the benefits that Tabata training has to offer.

It was once assumed that the only way you increased the benefits you received from exercise, was to exercise longer. We now know that to be wholly untrue. In fact, the opposite is true. Fast workouts, done with a high amount of intensity, can have far more long-term benefits than long and slow workouts. Let’s discuss why that is and some of the different ways you can incorporate any of a variety of fast workouts into your daily routine, with a minimal sacrifice of time.

So you’ve heard a lot about the benefits of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and you’re intrigued by the promise of turbo-charging your cardio training results in less time than a traditional workout regimen.

And perhaps you have also heard about the Tabata Method, a potent but less well-known form of High Intensity Interval Training that turns the standard HIIT method on its head.

It requires even less time to complete and is more difficult because of the need to maintain high intensity levels for a higher percentage of the workout duration. So what is the difference between the two, and which one is right for you? Let’s start with the latter question.

The energy and sacrifice required to begin and stick with any high intensity interval training, especially the Tabata Training Method, requires a steely fortitude, and a willingness to punish and push your body hard, to its limits, even if for a short period of time. You are to be commended for making the decision and now you’re ready to take action and get started. Congratulations.

But first we want to start you with the baby version of our 9 Minutes to Ripped program, which is a prescribed regimen inspired by the Tabata method, of which we ask you to do a pair of Tabata sessions. But not at first, not just yet. Not for your first week and for those who are reall out of shape, we’ll ask you to stay on the 9 Minutes to Ripped baby plan for 2 weeks or more before moving up to the core level of the 9 Minutes to Ripped program.
