Developed by Dr. Izumi as a High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) protocol, Tabata places acute but short-lived stress on the body over set intervals. The intensity and intervals matter because the body begins to increase it’s basal metabolic rate (BMR)  in order to support these demands.

Sometimes life is crazy and you can't always make it to the gym. You shouldn't sacrifice getting in a good workout just because you are busy.

If the first thing to fatigue or prevent you from finishing a workout is your forearms, you've limited the rest of your body's gains to one muscle group.
