Burn More Fat Faster!!!

We have all heard of the importance of Cardio to improve health, and to burn more fat, but what crosses most peoples minds when I tell them to do cardio? Usually we see the representation of hours spent on the elliptical, treadmills, or bikes. Maybe you think of running around the neighborhood.

The truth is I bet you most likely have never heard of a Tabata Drill. What would you say if I told you that it is possible to burn more fat in 24 hours from as little as 4 minutes of cardio?

It's true, you heard me right, I found a way to get my clients to lose more fat in a month from only performing cardio intensly for an average of 4 minutes of work.

The Tabata Protocol or Drill as some may call it, consists of a brief 4 minute warm up at whatever the chosen exercise ie, be it a bike, treadmill, elliptical, heck you can even use pushups, or bodyweight squats.

The secret to the success of the Tabata Protocol is the effect that it leaves on the energy systems of the body. While most cardio that you see performed in the gym environment works on the body's fat metabolizing system, also called the Oxidative System, the Tabata Protocol burns mainly ATP or Adenosine-5'-triphosphate, and Glycogen (stored carbohydrates or starches).

So if you were to count the calories burned in the time exercised under standard cardio and Tabata Cardio, you will see more calories burned in the Standard Cardio Session. But what makes the difference is that the Tabata Protocol will set the metabolic system into hyperdrive for the next 24 to 36 Hours. You will burn more fat in the resting state from doing Tabata Drills, than you will from Regular Cardio.

So how do you perform the Tabata Protocol?

Simple to explain yet difficult to endure, and that is why it is so effective.

Let's use the example of running as the chosen exercise in the Tabata Drill:

You will need a timer something like an interval timer from www.gymboss.com very inexpensive, yet perfect for almost any time of interval.

Now, to start off you will just jog lightly for 4 minutes, and at the 4 minute mark is when the fun begins. For the next 4 minutes you will run as fast as you humanly can in the following pattern:

0:00 - 4:00 Light Jog

4:00 - 4:20 Run ALL OUT TOP SPEED

4:20 - 4:30 Walk

4:30 - 4:50 Run ALL OUT TOP SPEED

4:50 - 5:00 Walk

5:00 - 5:20 Run ALL OUT TOP SPEED

5:20 - 5:30 Walk

5:30 - 5:50 Run ALL OUT TOP SPEED

5:50 - 6:00 Walk

6:00 - 6:20 Run ALL OUT TOP SPEED

6:20 - 6:30 Walk

6:30 - 6:50 Run ALL OUT TOP SPEED

6:50 - 7:00 Walk

7:00 - 7:20 Run ALL OUT TOP SPEED

7:20 - 7:30 Walk

7:30 - 7:50 Run ALL OUT TOP SPEED

7:50 - 8:00 Walk
