WHAT IS TABATA SONGS?
Tabata Songs offers music that is created specifically for the TABATA Interval Training Protocol (4 Minutes|20 Seconds Work: 10 Seconds Rest). Each song coaches the listener through the 8 intervals of this 4-minute workout, prompting when to GO and when to REST, eliminating any need for timers, watches, or inaccurate time estimates.
With music genres ranging from Hip-Hop to Country to Electronica, Tabata Songs has something for everybody.
Each Tabata Songs track gives the listener 10 seconds of prep time, with the actual workout beginning at the 10 second mark, prompted by the first “3 2 1 GO!”

WHAT IS TABATA?
TABATA, which is arguably the most popular High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workout of all-time, is a four minute workout consisting of eight intervals. Each interval lasts 20 seconds and is followed by 10 seconds of rest. Though any exercise movement can be used in Tabata interval training, a Tabata is only considered a “True Tabata” if the exercise is performed at an absolute maximum intensity for the entirety of the 8 intervals.
Over recent years, Tabata has gained vast popularity throughout the fitness industry. A household name across domains such as CrossFit, Spinning, Running, and Fitness Bootcamps around the world, this research-base protocol has been scientifically proven to bring results!

In 1996 a researcher named Dr Izumi Tabata conducted a study at Ritsumeikan University in Japan that compared Short High-Intensity Anaerobic Workouts to Long Steady-State Aerobic Workouts. This study was the first of its kind, scientifically testing the benefits of intermittent anaerobic exercise, now known as High Intensity Interval Training (H.I.I.T.) in contrast with traditional steady-state cardiovascular aerobic exercise. This research brief explains the findings of the study, originally published in the Journal of Medicine in Science in Sports and Exercise
