10 Minute Walking Workout for Seniors | Tabata for Beginners

This 10 Minute Walking Workout for Seniors | Tabata for Beginners will burn calories, improve your cardiovascular health, and rack up 1200 steps, more or less depending on your pace. It can be done standing or in a chair.

Tabata is high-intensity interval training (HIIT) that consists of eight sets of fast-paced exercises each performed for 20 seconds interspersed with a brief rest of 10 seconds.

Our 10 minute Tabata-inspired HIIT workout features two exercises, each done 8 times with 10 seconds of rest in between.The goal of this beginner friendly workout is to try to do each interval as fast as you can. But listen to your body and adjust the pace so it works for you.

Japanese researcher Izumi Tabata created the HIIT approach in a 1996 study to improve performance in elite speed skaters. Athletes in the study were asked to exercise on a bike, pedaling as fast as possible for 20 seconds, then resting for 10 seconds. They repeated the cycle for seven to eight rounds. The study found that this workout structure significantly improved cardiovascular health and endurance.
