Hi Everyone,
I'm a newbie and I'm curious about the Tabata. A lot of the unscientific muscle magazines, etc. extrapolate workout programs from the single Tabata study.
My questions are:
1. Do you guys believe it's the most time-efficient exercise protocol around? If not, what else would be?
2. Should the Tabata be the most time-efficient protocol, what would the best exercises be?
I'm guessing burpee pushups might be up there at the top, since it works a lot of major muscles. If you had a plyobox there, I'm guessing jumping up on that box on the up stage, followed by side-to-side would add to the intensity.
3. On these high-intensity rounds, should someone add more to create progressive overload, or simply keep the intensity high?
For instance, should a person make the Tabata exercise 20 seconds on, 10 seconds recovery times 9, then 10, then up and up?
Thanks
