Can you actually get fit in just 4 minutes? Sounds too good to be true, right? In this episode of Empower Her Plate, I'm diving into the truth behind that viral question—and breaking down the science and strategy behind Tabata, interval training, and the many forms of HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training).

We explore how Japanese researcher Dr. Izumi Tabata changed the game with his groundbreaking protocol—and how this powerful 4-minute training style helped me reach peak condition at 47. Growing up, I thought this age marked the end of being truly fit and active. Turns out… it's just getting good.

I talk about how different HIIT styles work, how to use them effectively (without burning out), and how these methods have helped me feel stronger, more energized, and more confident than ever.

But this episode isn't just about sweating smart—it's about getting clear on your reason for training in the first place. Because let's be honest… chasing a number on the scale or squeezing into a smaller pant size? That's never been the path to happiness.

This episode is full of strategy, mindset shifts, and some serious motivation to help you train for the life you want to live—not just the body you want to fit into.
