Weight and bodyfat %
Some regard the body fat percentage as the best measure of an individual's fitness level since it is the only body measurement which directly calculates the particular individual's body composition without regard to the individual's height or weight. BMI (Body Mass Index) can be skewed and is not necessarily an accurate indicator of body fat. For example, individuals with greater than average muscle mass will have a higher BMI.
Tabata workouts
Tabata Protocol, named after Dr Izumi Tabata is a high intensity interval routine. He had subjects perform interval training (on a bike) for 5 days a week for 6 weeks. Each session consisted of 7-8 sets of a single exercise. Each set lasted 20 secs with 10 sec rest between each. Every set was performed at a high intensity.
