Ten Time Saving Fitness Tips

The Tabata method of exercising is based on a 1996 study of athletes and was conducted by Dr. Izumi Tabata. This regime uses 20 seconds of ultra-intense exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest. This is repeated for 4 minutes or 8 cycles in total. The two best options for the Tabata method are front squats, which involves weight lifting a bar with 35 to 65 pound weights, or the thrusters, which involves squatting while holding two dumbbells weighing 15 pounds each, keeping them at shoulder length then on your shoulders as you squat. Not a recommended exercise for beginners.
