The Tabata interval is a simple yet extremely effective way to increase both aerobic and anaerobic capacities. In the version we used yesterday we hit every major muscle group with the most elegant of exercises in a way that challenged both muscular strength, endurance, stamina and flexibility all at once. The idea of this type of interval training is to shock the muscle and nuero-indocrine systems with maximal efforts, which in turn causes these systems to adapt tremendously.
High output, muscularly challenging workouts like this increase every aspect of your fitness without causing any of the negative side effects associated with LSD training, that's long slow distance. If you finished yesterday's workout and felt the need to exercise more, you simply do not know how to push yourself, and you need to learn the true meaning of maximal effort. "Tabata Something Else" is a potent enough workout to leave the world's fittest athletes crumbled up in a ball of sweat non-responsive on the floor. The more you get comfortable with being uncomfortable, the more you learn to face the misery and keep going, the better athlete you will become.
