How often do you do these 4 minute blasts in those 6 weeks? Also you mention 20 minute groupings (obviously of 5 circuits) -- is that prescribed, or what? (I'm a triathlete always looking to up my VO2 max, so this has me curious.) Thx. Sal, you mention 6 weeks of Tabata Intervals. How often do you do these 4 minute blasts in those 6 weeks?
