Getting started

The exercises in Tabata training should be basic so that form can be maintained. High-intensity exercise is demanding even in 20-second bursts, making it more difficult to maintain perfect technique for the entire 4 minutes. Injury risk increases when the form is lost. That's why it's critical to adjust exercises as needed to make them more manageable. Drop to your knees if you're doing push-ups and notice that weariness is affecting your form. This will allow you to complete the entire 4 minutes with proper form. Tabata training requires extreme vigilance due to its high-intensity nature. If you're new to exercising or have recently taken a break and are just starting back into it, gradually increase your intensity instead of jumping right into this form of training.
