What is Tabata Training?

Tabata training is a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) method developed by Japanese scientist Dr. Izumi Tabata. The original protocol uses 20 seconds of all-out effort followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated for 8 rounds (4 minutes total).

This format has been shown to improve both aerobic and anaerobic fitness in a very short time. It's ideal for bodyweight exercises like squats, burpees, push-ups, and mountain climbers.

Use this builder to customize your Tabata session. Adjust work and rest durations, change the number of rounds, then run your session directly in the browser or export it to SetFlow for full features.
