What's a Tabata? Tabata intervals were named for Dr. Izumi Tabata, a researcher at the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Tokyo, Japan. Originally working with speed skaters and stationary bikes, Dr. Tabata came up with the interval, designed to work both the anaerobic and aerobic energy systems. One interval is 20 seconds of work, followed by 10 seconds of rest. You do this interval 8 times, for a total of four minutes of work. You can pretty much "Tabata" anything and it's a great way to get a quick, intense work out.
