Do you TABATA?

Greetings Friends,

Today....were discussing Tabata workouts! So personally Im a bit biased. I absolutely lalalove these workouts. I find them to be so enjoyable and fun. I get a good sweat on but, it doesn't wear my body out.  The older one is, the more prone to injury you may be. So safety is so important while doing high intensity workouts. Majority of you, may have heard of HIIT workouts and the fat burning effects it has. I believe the majority of people participate in this type of regimen because of those fat burning effects. I personally have experienced feeling drained after the workout. I generally don't look forward to HIIT days so Im beyond grateful to have discovered Tabata.

So let's get into the nitty gritty of it all. Let's emerce ourselves here. Tabata is a form of HIIT (high intensity interval training). It usually is higher intensity for a shorter time frame. The reason why this is excellent, is because it allows for explosive energy that gets your heart rate up and then allows you an opportunity to rest before it becomes a bit much. This is also excellent for anyone who is injury prone. When performing at a high intensity, injuries are very probable. For this reason it is of high importance to ensure you are performing the exercises with correct form to avoid injuries and to receive the maximum benefits of the movement on the muscle group being trained.

So what's the verdict? Which one is better for you? HIIT or Tabata? Well it all comes down to personal preference in the end. The studies conducted have shown both have grand fat burning effects on the body. Tabata in the end IS a form of HIIT. I personally enjoy having explosive high intensity movements and a shorter time period of performing it. Both exercises do train the entire body, and multiple muscle groups at once. Both would be considered to be beneficial for the entire body and a time saver. If you enjoy a good sweat session and a challenge, these workouts will do it for you.

As always, I hope you found this informative and helpful for your wellness journey. Feel free to comment, share, follow or hey like it! Don't forget to spread love, light, and joy wherever you go.
