When it comes to getting shredded and leaning out, you can’t expect any shortcuts. It takes hard work, sweat, and a little bit of crazy. But there are a few training techniques that can be used to train your body to be a fat torching machine.
Enter Tabata training.
The workout above follows a traditional Tabata Circuit protocol that takes 4 Minutes and can be categorized as High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT).
For Tabata Training, you will perform high intensity work for 20 seconds followed by 10 seconds of rest or low intensity work. Within the 4 minutes you would have completed two rounds of the four exercises prescribed in the video above.
- Archer Rows
- Split Squat Jumps
- Face Pulls
- Dive Bomber Push Ups
This type of training deprives your working muscles from oxygen and causes metabolic stress. According to the Journal of Strength and Conditioning this leads to an anabolic response that leads to faster muscle growth.
Flavia Del Monte wrote on Breaking Muscle:
It (Tabata Training) teaches your body to tolerate lactic acid. When you train in a high-intensity zone, your threshold becomes higher. It also keeps your metabolism running on high gear. One of the greatest benefits of anaerobic training is that your body keeps burning fat for 24 hours after your workout.
This type of training isn’t a walk in the park. It’ll get you dripping in sweat, you heart rate will definitely ramp up, and your metabolism will drastically increase which like Del Monte said, will keep you body burning fat during your training and continue to do so up to 24 hours after your workout.
This 4 Minute Suspension trainer workout will definitely get your fat burning furnace fired up and send you on your way towards a leaner and conditioned body.
Remember, when it comes to living the Kū life, it starts with the body.
