Hello all,
Has anyone out there tried tabata intervals as part of cardio training? I was reading about this recently and it sounds very promising. I would like to increase my cardio fitness and stamina for my increasingly long and difficult tennis matches, but I want to keep the running to a minimum to save my knees. I was thinking about trying this method by jumping rope. For anyone unfamiliar, the basic premise is to do intervals of 20 seconds of 100% effort followed by 10 seconds of complete rest. If anyone has any insight to this interval method I would love to hear some feedback.
PS- I just joined this forum and have really been enjoying reading through everything. Thanks in advance to anyone with advice!
