Review: A good reference source if you are into the high intensity Tabata system workout routines. - I have been into physical fitness all my life and I am always seeking new and innovative workout programs. I am into my golden years but I still workout six to seven days a week. One of the systems I have been doing lately is the Tabata workout which is one of the HIIT (High intensity interval training) exercise systems. Dr. Izuma Tabata is a well-known physiologist from Tokyo, Japan and in his research on exercise he developed a system based upon his test results. He discovered that doing 20 seconds of high intense exercise followed by 10 seconds rest and doing that 8 times provided an effective body workout and it only takes 4-minutes. Some people mistakenly claim the Tabata system only requires 4-minutes of high intensity to benefit from this program; however, this can be misleading. Besides the warm-up and cool down periods, you actually do 16-minutes of high intensity exercises. The program consists of 4 different exercises doing each one for the 8 cycles of 4-16 total minutes. In any case, I purchased this book Tabata Workout Handbook to achieve maximum fitness by Roger Hall for a bargain price on desertcart. I really liked this book a lot because it provides a wide variety of different kinds of exercises you can use doing the Tabata workout. One of the kinds of exercise which was NOT mentioned in this book which is fantastic for the Tabata type of workout is swimming and other water based exercises. In fact, this is where I do most of my exercises because of medical issues. If you are seeking a good solid basic text on the many types of exercises you can do in the Tabata system this book is for you. My only complaint is that there are no photos or illustrations showing many of these exercises. Fortunately, I am familiar with most of the exercises in this text. If you are into the HIIT WOD (Workout of the day) programs you may want to check out this book. I use it as a reference source. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Training Alone in Combatives) Review: Great book - Great workouts exactly what I needed. Been doing these workouts 2x per week for the last 6 weeks. A great addition to my workout program.

A scam - not a book!
The book is not really a book because most of the pages are "fluff" that provide absolutely no value and are just fillers. Of the 215 pages: 116 pages are oversized names of exercises (see pictures). These names are printed in oversized letters so that each three-line exercise fills a whole page 32 pages are a worthless "journal" for record keeping purposes The remaining pages contain "helpful terminology" and exercise definitions that seem to be lifted off the web and are certainly not Tabata-specific. Many exercises use equipment which Tabata doesn't do. The only Tabata-specific text are on four pages - hardly what can be expected in a 215-page book about Tabata I had the feeling that this book was quickly produced to take advantage of Amazon customers looking for a book on Tabata without any effort or work to deliver the advertised product. Will be printing the return sticker next.

Abbastanza inutile
Il libro suggerisce degli esercizi. Ma li descrive esclusivamente a parole, senza una foto, senza un disegno. Evidentemente improponibie. Quindi se l'esercizio lo conosci, bene. Se no devi andartelo a cercare altrove. Ma allora a che serve.? Secondo aspetto. Il testo da per scontato che in una sessione di Tabata da 4 min si debba ripetere lo stesso esercizio 8 volte. Non è vero: si possono alternare due esercizi diversi, o fare altre combinazioni, sino a 8 esercizi diversi. E ci sono anche delle ragioni per cui è preferibile. Ma a prescindere da questo, un testo sul Tabata dovrebbe illustrare tutte le possibilità, con vantaggi e svantaggi di ognuna. Conclusione: credo che chiunque, leggendo un po' di articoli sul Tabata in giro per il web, e guardando su youtube un po' di sessioni di allenamento esemplificative, potrebbe scrivere un testo più completo e aggiornato di questo.

Great ideas, easy to understand and plenty of variation
Great ideas, easy to understand and plenty of variation. Don't understand the 1 star review at all! I'm a PT of 10 years + and recommend this book to most clients to enable me to set home workouts from it. A bargain at £10!

If I could have seen the inside of the book, I wouldn't have purchased it. Waste of money.
