She was giving pushback in the sense that what she was doing was not trying to learn more, but trying justify that she knew what I was talking about, but better than I was talking about. So I dug my feelers a bit deeper. I asked her how the rest of her workout is after that. She told me it's hard, but she is strong enough to push through to weights and do another minutes of lower intense cardio after she was done.
That is kind of where I stopped her. I explained that if it's done correctly, you are not spending another I really worked to maker her understand the difference.
I completely lost her at that point though. She didn't think that the all out intense work with nothing much left to burn after the fact was beneficial. She was so thoroughly convinced the only way she was going to reach her goal was to spend hours a day at the gym doing cardio and eating calories a day.

Christopher I work in the fitness field and follow many publications and I have a bit of a different take on this. Yes you are correct, the protocol is never used properly but I think most of the fitness professionals know this. What makes more sense for attracting new group exercise clients, having a class that is called High Intensity Interval Training or Tabata.
One is much less intimidating in my opinion. I think you have to give the industry a bit more credit for being smarter than you think it is. Using the name Tabata is a great way to market a class. Christopher There is a lot of crap in the industry that is incorrect or misinterpreted that drives me crazy like "muscle confusion" if I hear someone say this pseudo-science phrase again I'll flip.
You could say the same for "fat burning zone". Although there is good scientific reasoning for the existence of these terms they are misleading and people are ill-informed. Julia Drescher No i don't agree with his comments,If someone really wants to increase his fitness levels he must workout some physical activities at their home and join the gym where you should get down all the fitness machines like ergometer etc. Ergometer Test February 26, at am Reply to this comment.
Martin Brilliant Tabata didn't study fat burning. His subjects were athletes who didn't have any fat to burn. He studied VO2max and aerobic capacity. Recent studies show that tabata workouts can also burn fat. I wouldn't worry about the "Tabata myth. Language changes, and by the time you see the change it's too late to bring it back. The myth to watch our for is the "myth of the max. How could they do that?
VO2max is measured under conditions of sustained effort, but you can work harder for brief intervals. Similarly, if you do a tabata workout the way Tabata's subjects did, you're likely to see your heart rate peak above your HRmax, for two reasons.
First, if you calculate HRmax as minus your age, that doesn't apply to you as an individual. It's a formula derived from a population average. Second, if you use your personal HRmax, it was measured under conditions of sustained effort, and you can work harder for brief intervals. TonyGentilcore I love when people smarter than myself chime in on a post and offer their points of wisdom.
Martin Brilliant Credit my wife for the remarks about language. The rest is on the web. RoosterRedux Tony: Very insightful article. I really like the Tabata Protocol but it has been completely taken out of context, as you mention. Crossfit has even been amended by the SEAL's because it doesn't include long periods of high intensity running or swimming, etc.
Makes sense to me that all types of workouts are needed including long intense cardio workouts. The Protocol was originally meant as a means for helping already Olympic quality athletes improve their conditioning. It may or may not help as a core fitness program. There is no evidence either way as to the efficacy of this. I ride bike and row Concept 2 for 30 minutes to an hour a day just getting back after a very lazy period. And I am going to use Tabata as the icing on the cake.
Of course, I might be wrong Jon May 5, at pm Reply to this comment. Spann You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. TonyGentilcore LOL - so true! I came across this article while searching for information about HIT training.
I don't mean any offense, but… it was after I read your article that I decided to give up on reading people's blogs for advice about fitness stuff. Instead, I'll just stick to the sports medicine research. When I read through your piece, I saw a bunch of contempt and derision about people's enthusiasm about HIT. Are they really not so good for people who are obese? Are they safe?
I found the following article after doing a quick search: Dr. Holly S. Kessler MD, Susan B. Sisson, Kevin R. This was a meta-study of 24 previous studies that tracked health outcomes for people doing HIT workouts. This meta-study argues that "HIIT has been shown to be safe and effective in patients with a range of cardiac and metabolic dysfunction" and that HIT "is effective for improving insulin sensitivity and VO2max, with results equal or superior to [continuous moderate exercise CME ].
One part of the paper caught my eye, though: "the authors of two studies that compared HIT to CME incidentally noted that participants in the HIT group reported that they found the varying intensities of exercise to be motivating. The participants in the CME group, in contrast, found the exercise training to be quite boring. Or maybe people get motivated by the breaks strewn throughout the workout.
I just wish you were more careful, man. TonyGentilcore The point of the article - which I wrote three years ago - wasn't to deride exercise or to dissuade people from exercising. If you read it that way I apologize. Was it borderline "nit-picky? But in the end it was just to clarify a slight misconception in the fitness world. Your derision wasn't toward "exercise," but toward what you took to be bad advice to people who want to exercise.
Hell, the studies suggest that low-impact, high-intensity, face-melting workouts might be exactly what Dick needs to stay motivated—even if Dick has cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and so on. Lift the right hand and rope up to shoulder level, while simultaneously lowering the left hand and rope down to hip level with enough force so the ropes move in opposite directions.
Continue for 20 seconds, then rest 10 seconds. Next, still holding the ropes in each hand, bring both arms up overhead, then forcefully slam the ropes down to the ground, lowering into a high squat as you do.
Drop down and perform a burpee. Repeat this four times, as stated above. Workout 3 1. Pushups 2. Workout 5 1. Sprints 2.

Eventually, he discovered that the absolute best results were when he had these athletes performing at 20 seconds at max capacity. Ya feel me? Lifting weights, for example, is about breaking down muscle fiber in the hopes and effort that it will get stronger. So in order to tax the body as much as you truly need to to get a legitimate Tabata workout, you need adequate rest.
And, as we know, adequate rest is anywhere from 24 to 48 hours. So how often should you be doing Tabata? Ideally, for you to get optimal results, you should not be doing Tabata more than two, maybe three times a week.
