What is Tabata?

Tabata is a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout, featuring exercises that last 4 minutes. It incorporates a warm up and uses full-body exercises that engage as many muscle groups as possible.

Creator Dr Izumi Tabata found that shorter, more intense workouts provide quicker results for increased cardiovascular capacity, endurance and weight loss.

In fact, Tabata is becoming increasingly popular with GOOD REASON!

It is already the new go-to workout for athletes and fitness professionals for a super-aerobic cardio workout that shows fast results. They can be both intense and challenging for athletes of all levels.

Danielle’s verdict

Healthy Mummy Danielle is a big fan of our Tabata workouts because she can fit them into her hectic schedule.

“I love that it’s quick, I feel energised afterward, easy to do in my own home even with kids around,” she says.

“I love that I can do it anytime throughout the day I have a spare 5 minutes (1 minute to step up).”

Way to go Danielle, keep it up!

So what are you waiting for? Why don’t you schedule in a Tabata workout?

Danielle’s weight loss story

Danielle has lost an awesome 20kgs*, three dress sizes and has gained a whole load of confidence with the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge!

Since jumping on board with the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenges and following the meal plans, Danielle reveals she has lost an incredible 20 kilograms.

“I started following the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenges in October 2012. I was 80kgs and I was not happy with myself and was always bloated and could never find anything to wear,” she says. 

“But a year later I lost 10kg. I’m now down to 60kg and even though I’ve reached my scale goal, my journey has only just begun.”

Danielle says she’s had her ups and downs throughout her journey – falling off the wagon and getting back on again – but she is healthier than she’s ever been.

“I’m fitter and stronger than ever before,” she says. “I enjoy cooking a lot more and eating healthy and exercising.

“My life and my family’s lives are changed for the better thanks to The Healthy Mummy. My hubby lost 15kg! And I have so much more energy. It’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle.”
