The research was done at 170 VO2max. Doing 20/10 is fine but it isn't Tabata unless you are well over 100% VO2max. You do a disservice to the protocol. The research was done at 170 VO2max.

I thought my heart was gonna explode! Any thoughts on easing into this? Maybe the old 30:30 sprints I used to do? Haven't been doing cardio. I'm a trucker, and I've lost 90 lbs in last year but have plateaued (sp?) in last 3 months. I've been doing resistance training, using TNT cables and isometrics 4x weekly. Thanks for any advice!

I have a question (know this is old, but I JUST discovered your site: it's great!)-- Back when I was bodybuilding in the late 90s, the idea of sprinting similar to this had just "come into fashion," and I did it with some success at the time. Being a Mike Mentzer devotee (short duration, high intensity training), this is really appealing to me, as I get back into shape. My question is: I used to do 30second/30second sprints. How effective do you think they were/are vs the tabata? Also, how much warmup/cooldown should I do (only used to do 2min each)? I'm finding multiple sources on the internet with multiple answers. Appreciate the advice. Hi, Mark.
