Tabata Protocol And Calisthenics...
|

by Coach Lomax |
Can you get an excellent aerobic and anaerobic workout in less than 4 minutes?... You bet you can!
By combining the Tabata Protocol and calisthenics you can push the limits of your muscular and cardiorespiratory strength.
The Tabata Protocol
The Tabata Protocol was created by Dr. Izumi Tabata at the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Tokyo, Japan.
The basic concept of this cardio interval training method is to do intense exercise for 20 seconds, rest 10 seconds and repeat for 8 cycles.
The entire workout only takes 4 minutes... 3:50 to be exact.
Just like other types of interval training, the rest period can be either complete rest or reduced intensity.
Interval training of any type stresses the body both physically and mentally.
This is what makes the Tabata Protocol so great... the short 10 second rest gives you a break both physically and mentally, allowing you to keep the 20 second work intervals intense.
That's all there is to it... an extremely quick and effective metabolic conditioning exercise method that improves both aerobic and anaerobic capacity simultaneously.
I personally love the Tabata Protocol... It is a great way to get a very intense workout in a very short period of time.
Tabata Protocol Combined With
Calisthenics Exercise?
I like the Tabata Protocol so much that I use it not only for metabolic conditioning methods like sprinting, biking, rowing and jumping rope... but also with bodyweight calisthenics exercise.
Muscular endurance and cardiorespiratory endurance will be intensely targeted in this short workout.
When you only have a short time to work out and you want to test yourself... the Tabata Protocol - Calisthenics combination is very effective.
But The Tabata Protocol Should
Not Be Underestimated
Some people are afraid of the intensity of the Tabata Protocol.
Let me put those fears to rest...
You do not have to work at an extremely high intensity that leaves you laying on the floor gasping for air as your friends call the paramedics.
The Principle of Overload states that the stress placed on the body only has to be slightly greater than normal to instigate bodily changes for performance improvement.
In other words, you can still get great results with the Tabata Protocol while going at your own safe pace.
However, with that being said... I do not recommend jumping right into to Tabata Protocol training, regardless of the training method (cardio or calisthenics).
Work your way up to being able to use the Tabata Protocol gradually... and then your use of the Tabata Protocol will yield fantastic results in a very short time!
