Most people think they need to stay on the treadmill or elliptical for at least 20 minutes before any fat burning begins. What makes this 4 minute routine so effective then?
The short high intensity intervals result in a significant “after burn effect” in which your body continues burning calories for hours after you complete the workout. This happens because you burn off all your glycogen (carbs) during the workout leaving only fat for your body to burn. Additionally, the Tabata protocol has been shown to increase aerobic and anaerobic capacity while moderate intensity cardio only increases aerobic capacity.
