How Long Can You Last?

Ever do something and wish you had more energy to keep doing it???  If so, try Tabata.  It's an interval training method where you have 20 seconds of maximum intensity exercise, followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated without pause 8 times for a total of four minutes.  Now that's a workout!  You may have heard of Tabata Situps... that's pretty popular.

My workout of the day was a Tabata one but with mostly NO rest :(  We had to keep moving during rest...

  • Tabata Jumping Pull ups with mountain climbers during the rest period.
  • immediately after
  • Tabata Push Ups with jumping over a 12" object during the rest
  • immediately after
  • Tabata Push Press with a 45# bar, but finally getting the 10sec rest :)
  • immediately after
  • Tabata Air Squats with a short sprint during the rest period

After that, I ran for my water and took down 8oz in record setting pace.  This is a 16min workout and is what we'd call a 'burner', especially after the push ups.

The warm up was: 400m jog, 500m row, slam ball, back extensions, sit-up extensions, suicides with 20lb medicine ball, and one-handed over head medicine ball walk/run.

The skill work of the day was the Handstand.  I instead worked on Muscle Ups, which is my new passion.. if ya haven't been noticing.
