Thank Dr. Izumi Tabata of the National Institute of Fitness and Sport in Tokyo for this workout. In 1996, Dr. Tabata published a groundbreaking study that showed the effectiveness (and superiority) of high intensity interval training. Also, thank CrossFit.Com for embracing and promoting this way back before the explosion of functional fitness. (Read more from CrossFit Journal's November 2007 Issue #63 on earlier discussions regarding his studies).
