UFC High intensity workouts, T-Nation, Tabata etc.

Hey everyone,

Just thought I'd open a discussion on what types of high intensity workouts everyone is doing and what you've gotten out of them.  When my respiratory issues flare, it keeps me from being able to go a full hour for most workout videos, and to be honest, videos sometimes bore the crap out of me.  I was attracted to Tabata style interval training due to the fact that I have little pockets of time during my day where I can hit a high intensity workout, recover then do another one later.  I actually prefer workouts with no music where I can just focus.  I do body weight exercises, military type moves, use dummbells, bar, sandbag and have a kickboxing bag on a stand, jump rope - fighting type workout equipment.

So for any of you who has done, or is doing Tabata style workouts (T-Nation workouts too) and  mixed martial arts workouts - how does that compare to P90X?  I've passed the fit test and thinking of buying it. Reading your posts & it seems to be right in line with what I'm doing now.  I have Power90, Horton's old tame DVDs and was just wondering if P90X moves along a lot faster with less filler moves if you know what I mean.  I really don't rest between sets much with what I'm doing now.  Any comments greatly appreciated.

  • Here's an article I came across that made me think of this post. I really like the content on this site. http://www.8weeksout.com/2011/09/28/never-gas-out-mma-interval-trai...

  • I am curious to hear everyones opinion on this  discussion. I am a Tabata / HIIT fan and I am having a hard time going back to longer workouts as they are not as effective in my experience. But so far short HIIT has been a ton of fun and pretty effective for me. saves time as well.
