The name Tabata came from the Japanese physician, researcher, Dr. Izumi Tabata. He conducted a study using interval-based training model. His objective was to see if athletes would benefit from a 20/10 session repeated 8 times.

These intense workouts burn fat really easily when given 100% effort. It consists of 4 different types of workouts done in 16 mins. you would do the first workout for 20 seconds and then with a 10 second rest (aka. 20/10 sessions) and then you would do 8 repetitions of this workout and then move to workout 2.
