Everyone has a zillion excuses why they don't exercise. High on the list of reasons are lack of time and the weather. Let's cross those off your list and look at Tabata, a quick, high intensity interval routine developed in Japan in the 1990s. The research done by Tabata and his team found that those who used this intense interval training improved their aerobic (cardiovascular) health and their anaerobic condition (muscles) more than any other group. The workout uses a 20/10 interval where you exercise hard for 20 seconds and then rest for 10 seconds. You do this 8 times for a total of 4 minutes. Best yet, no equipment or gym membership is needed. It can be done in your home with little or no equipment. I use this Tabata timer for my workout: http://www.tabatatimer.com/
