Exercising the Proper Way
Tabata is a method and not an exercise routine. It is a method of doing your exercises in the fastest and most intense way that you can within a period of five minutes. During those five minutes, you will have 20 seconds of workout time, followed by 10 seconds of rest. There will be no intervals in the exercise other than the 10-second rest during the 5-minute duration.
Before starting your exercises, make sure that you have already stretched your body so that your muscles and ligaments won’t be shocked or torn by the sudden intensive training that you are about to go through. The objective of tabata is to put your body under intense training and not shock it, which can cause serious injuries.
Thrusters
One of the best exercises that you can do to burn fat is the thrusters. It is used in improving your core, thighs, shoulders and back muscles. Thus, it is great for sports training. And because this improves your coordination, conditioning and cardio, it is not only good for weight loss. It is best even for improving your performance at sports and other activities.
To do this, you need to have some weights. You will need weights for both hands that you can carry and not too heavy to lift. You can increase the weight of the lifts later on. Just make sure that you do tabata on a regular basis so that your body won’t get shocked when you increase your weight’s weight.
Get Into Position and Start
Straighten your knees and position your feet steadily on the floor. The distance should be as wide as your shoulders and nothing more. This will force your knees and your thighs to work harder when you get up, which will be great for improving your thigh muscles.
Hold the weights on each hand. Put your hands forward, near your face, with bended elbows and plunge down. While plunging down, make sure to lift the weights by straightening your elbows. Then, get back up as fast as you can while pulling your hands back to their original position.
Exercise then Rest
Do the thrusters for 20 seconds straight without any breaks. Just remember to breathe properly to avoid losing strength. Then, put the weights down and rest for 10 seconds. Make sure that you pick up the weights as soon as the 10 seconds are up and resume exercising as fast as you can.
Do the thrusters using the tabata method only when you are properly warmed up and prepared to avoid injuries. Also, make sure that you try to reach your limitations so that you can achieve improvement over time.
