A Crossfit trainer friend of mine put me through a bunch of Tabata Squats one day. I was so sore afterward that had I not been through that kind of soreness before under Omega's program I would have gone to the doctor thinking I'd hurt my whole lower body.

Instead of regular DOMS I had trouble right away with the stairs in my house. I was OK after about 5 days. This was just with Tabata Air Squats! Very effective at totally taxing the muscles.

I've seen discussions about it in the weight training forum, but nothing in the women's forum of which I'm aware.

My buddy in NYC does it. He works out for 15 minutes or so a day. He is ripped and looks bigger too.

i have done small bits here and there - I use it when I have very little time to get a workout in.

I have a new iphone app called "Gymboss" It's for timing all kinds of intervals or creating your own. There is a Tabata one already set up on there. Great app! And it's free too.

Kicking your own ass with your iphone doing a tabata workout makes a huge scene but is pretty effective.
