The History of Tabata

Tabata training was discovered by Japanese scientist Dr. Izumi Tabata and a team of researchers from the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Tokyo.

Tabata and his team conducted research on two groups of athletes. The first group trained at a moderate intensity level while the second group trained at a high-intensity level. The moderate intensity group worked out five days a week for a total of six weeks; each workout lasted one hour. The high-intensity group worked out four days a week for six weeks; each workout lasted four minutes and 20 seconds (with 10 seconds of rest in between each set).

The results; Group 1 had increased their aerobic system (cardiovascular), but showed little or no results for their anaerobic system (muscle). Group 2 showed much more increase in their aerobic system than Group 1, and increased their anaerobic system by 28 percent.

In conclusion, high-intensity interval training has more impact on both the aerobic and anaerobic systems.

Cryothletics at CFS – Saturday, June 22nd 9AM-12PM
We are excited to be hosting Cryothletics at CrossFit Southie on Saturday, June 22nd. If you’ve been curious about cryotherapy, now is your chance to try it out!

“Cryotherapy is a fast, non-invasive pain management and recovery treatment that exposes the body to extreme cooling in a controlled environment using vapourized liquid nitrogen. This revolutionary recovery technique is used by professional athletes as well everyday fitness enthusiasts and those who suffer from certain chronic illnesses to promote their recovery and improve overall health.”

The cost for a whole body cryotherapy session is usually $65 – but cryothletics will be here offering it to CFS members for just $30! The whole thing takes about 5 minutes and will leave you feeling refreshed and recovered like you’ve never been before. You can read more about the benefits of cryotherapy here.

This treatment can be done before or after a workout. Just note, you must be complete dry to enter the cryotherapy chamber. If you plan to book a session after your workout, please allow time to towel off and for your sweat to dry off 🙂

Toby

Member Spotlight – Toby Maguire!
We are so excited to shine a spotlight on our longtime member Toby! We are so happy to have in this community. Toby is consistently here for the 5:30AM class. He goes above and beyond to work on mobility, conditioning and strength among other things. Toby is an inspiration to those around him. Most recently he climbed the Pegboard…you know that large piece of wood hanging in Southie Orange that looks like a human sized cribbage board, yeah he climbed that at 57 years young! The same one that games athletes use daily! That is just one example of how Toby’s hard work has paid off over the years! We’re lucky to have him here and look forward to seeing where his hard work takes him next.

For being featured in the Member Spotlight Toby will also receive a FREE Half Hour massage from our clinical massage therapist Natalie!

Toby with his family at Breckenridge

Name: Toby Maguire
Profession: I am an administrator at the MA Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. I work in an area that funds and supports adult education (GED and English language classes).

When did you start at Crossfit Southie? August 2015

What is your Favorite movement and WOD?
Rope climbs and rowing, which make up two thirds of my favorite WOD, Dork. Sometimes when I travel I will do a Murph variation in a hotel gym or playground. Last March my family traveled to Breckenridge, CO. On St. Patrick’s Day I did Murph (20xCindy) at 9,600 feet at the local gym. My time was probably the slowest ever for someone from Southie: 1:02:25.

Which Class do you Frequent?
5:30 am — I come early to get ahead of traffic and to have time after class for mobility and occasionally the extra work. It’s probably the same at all the classes, but the early morning gang is super motivated and supportive. It’s a great scene and terrific way to start the day.

What has been your biggest accomplishment so far?
Having Chris post my recent pegboard climb and rowing a PR at the end of the nutrition challenge.

What are your Fitness Goals?
My primary goal is to keep my wife interested in me. Additionally, we are about ten years from retirement, and I hope to be healthy and fit enough to enjoy those years. There’s increasing evidence about the long-term benefits of exercise. The CFS coaches, especially Retta, give me the advice and guidance to avoid injuries and get the most out of each day.

Toby with Carol…his “Primary Fitness Goal”

What is your Favorite Part of CrossFit?
In addition to the camaraderie and support that gets me through those 5:30 am classes, my favorite part of CrossFit is having scaled the WOD just right. Too often, when I first joined, I tried to do the prescribed weights. I’ve learned to ask and gauge how to best scale to get the most out of a class.

How did you get involved in CrossFit and what was your first WOD/experience?
My wife is a nurse at Boston Medical Center. When I was about to start my new job at DESE, she asked around about gyms in the area that had HIIT classes. I really didn’t know about CrossFit until I began. My intro class was with Chuck. There were three of us; we climbed the rope and cargo net; there was some rowing too. It was fun, and I was back the next day. I remember my first “12 Days of CrossFit Southie.” Goose was in such pain watching me attempt 11 overhead squats that he took the bar away from me and gave me a PVC pipe.

Toby with his favorite movement

What are your hobbies outside of CrossFit?
I’m a reader. I usually have two or three science fiction novels or mysteries going. I am never without a book.

What’s a “Fun Fact” about you?
I love to eat and to cook. I do most of the meal programming and spend my Sundays planning the week’s menu, shopping, and cooking.
