Tabata is a high-intensity interval training that consists of eight sets of fast-paced exercises each performed for 20 seconds interspersed with a brief rest of 10 seconds.
According to a small 2013 study , people who did a 20-minute Tabata session consisting of bodyweight and plyometric exercises improved their cardiorespiratory endurance. They burned more calories than the usual rate during normal exercise. While Tabata brings many benefits, some people don't find it pleasant. You can use a wide range of exercises in a Tabata workout, including bodyweight movements like squats, push-ups, and burpees, as well as exercises involving equipment like kettlebells, dumbbells, or stationary bikes.
