You may of heard of the ground breaking Tabata Protocol used to train Japanese winter olympic speed skaters. Well one form of that is Tabata sprints also known as Guerilla Cardio.
Lasting just four minutes its possible the most powerful fat burning work out ever devised.
But don’t be fooled by the short time frame of 4 minutes. The average moderately fit person simply won’t be able to complete 2 minutes of this work out.
This workout is absolutely brutal.
Basically its 8 rounds of near max sprint effort. 20 seconds sprinting 10 seconds rest. Once you get to three you’ll really begin to struggle.
Start with a 5 - 10 minute warm up then a 5 minute cool down.
Its now used by many professional fighters and many top trainers are saying that its possible to shed 7% - 10% bodyfat within a month if you do this workout 4 times per week.
I can’t recommend this workout because if you do make it to six rounds on your first go, and you’re sprinting properly, it will most likely feel like your heart and lungs are going to explode.
It’s probably highly dangerous to anyone with heart disease.
Afterwards your body will just be shaking. Remember the original tabata protocol when originally done on stationary bikes caused olympic level athletes (one won a gold medal) to fall off the bike on to the floor trying to catch their breath.
I would avoid this workout if you’re a man with over 14% bodyfat and 18% bodyfat for women. If you’re in the low teens bodyfat wise this workout can take you down to the mid single digit body fat levels if you do it three to four times per week and eat a wholefood diet of meat, vegetables, and fruit.
To get started just aim for 4 rounds.
Later on you can add additional rounds and try and increase your sprinting speed also.
Go for one day on one day off.
This workout is one of the few on record to produce both an increased performance in VO2 Max and anaerobic capacities.
