Tabata Training

There is a lot of confusion about Tabata training. Let me clear it up for you.

Tabata training is a strict protocol. 20 seconds at 170% VO2 max and 10 seconds recovery. That's the ONLY way to do it. Therefore, it's almost impossible to do (at the proper level) unless you are using a specialized treadmill that is set up for it. You can't do it on an elliptical machine or spin bike at your gym.

Today's Kickbutt Mindset Tips:
"Set lofty goals. Proclaim them to the world. And take massive action on achieving the goals you set out to achieve. It's as simple as that. And even if you don't reach 100% of your goals, you've still failed forward and your life and business are in a better place because of it." – Bedros Keuilian

"I'm of the opinion that hardship shapes us. Coming from nothing served my family well. It also gave me the hunger to want it all, and the wisdom to know that none of it matters." - Gary Vaynerchuk, Crush It
