Tabata is one of the most efficient and intense workouts I have ever put my body through. Ironically, it's also one of the shortest workout regimens. Each workout lasts four minutes.

To commence a Tabata workout, you choose an exercise. If you select push-ups, for example, you set a limit of twenty seconds. During that time, you do as many push-ups as you can. Then you rest for ten seconds. Immediately after that, you do as many more push-ups as you can for twenty seconds, followed by another ten-second rest. Repeat the process for four minutes.

What makes Tabata so effective is the concept that your body can only perform at high intensity for so long before it starts to wear down. The intervals of rest enable you to cram a lot of high-intensity exercise into a very short time, allowing enough recovery to continue to the next round.

Similarly, if you try to attack too much debt too fast, you run the risk of burning out. By applying the Tabata method, you can allow yourself breaks from the stress of hitting a debt hard. It works this way: Let's say your mission is Operation Discover. You have a balance of $10,000 on a Discover card that you maxed out when you were in college. Planning your attack on debt, you've identified this card as your first target.

To prevent early burnout, use the Tabata ratio of 2 to 1, focusing for two months and then taking a one-month rest. Make double payments for the first two months to knock a substantial amount off the principal. After hitting it hard for two months, take a month where you pay only the regular payment. Then go back to double payments for two more months. Keep repeating that cycle until the debt is eliminated.

Of course, if you aren't burned out and are able to keep making double payments every month, go for it. Be flexible and adjust to the terrain.
