'Tabata is a four-minute HIIT workout with 20 seconds at maximum intensity and 10 seconds of rest (8 rounds); a short recovery (around 1-minute); and repeat.   The treadmill, spin cycle, Concept 2 Rower, outdoor stair running, and jump rope are my preferred Tabata HIIT routines.  A  5-minute warmup and a 5-minute cool-down are highly recommended.    If possible, try to do 3 to 4 rounds.  Limit your recovery time between rounds to around 1-minute so that your muscles stay warm.    Tabata at maximum intensity is difficult to do daily.  I can only do it 3 times a week.  On the non-Tabata days, I do LESS intense interval training using the same 20/10 interval regime.  Instead of counting reps, I do as many reps as possible in 20 seconds when weightlifting, body-weight exercises, TRX Suspension Trainer, etc.  If you’re working yourself into physical shape or injured, you can do even LESS intense interval training by just fast walking / jogging for 20 seconds and slow walking / jogging for 10 seconds.
