I do these with burpees, jump lunges, jump squats, pull-ups, burpees to pull-ups, jump rope…

Such a versatile and effective protocol.

Thanks O!

Thanks for another great article, O! I have seen the term tabatas around but never knew how it worked or how time-effective they can be. I will definitely try it out this week, the video you posted looks like a great move to try.

Very cool! I have heard of this, but never research what the methodology behind it was all about. Definitely going to throw this into my workouts!

Hey Michelle,

That’s definitely untrue — you’ll still see results with Tabata and other forms of HIIT when low-carbing, so go for it!

Sharon, thanks for sharing that timer; very helpful!

I have heard that Tabata and HIIT are mainly to burn off ingested carbs, and that these are not really effective exercises for people who follow a low-carb diet. Is there any truth to this at all? Low carb is the only plan my body tolerates, but I love Tabata and HIIT.

I love tabata….I downloaded a tabata timer on my MP3 so I can do it anywhere. It is awesome! I tabata everything..jumping jacks, prisoner squats, planks, situps, on and on.

Here is a link to the timer if anyone wants it.
