The basic findings of Izumi Tabata’s research was that in 4 minutes of work, you could get more cardiovascular benefits, and more fat loss, than in 60 minutes of steady state cardio (e.g. jogging). That’s right: 4 minutes vs 60 minutes.

But I have an alternate that I think you will like even better…

The other day my ipod shuffle wasn’t working so I did my run in “silence”. The good news is that it didn’t affect my motivation or speed or anything. The bad news is that I figured out I’m a pretty weird guy…

I’m insane.
I kept thinking the same things over and over. Literally.

Everyone seemed to like the last article from Tom, and so here’s another. This is a great one that you can start putting to use in your very next leg workout. It’s a really important variation if you find your knees and/or back overstressed.

Nobody can go from undefined, fat, or flabby and one week be ripped. And I had my doubts about this article, that it would promise overnight results. Sure enough, it starts out talking about “getting ready for an unexpected beach event” or even “suddenly getting that date with a particular girl” as the impetus for the overnight cure they were (supposedly) about to unveil.
