Tabata This

Tabata Intervals ( 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest repeated 8 times) for the following exercises:

Overhead Squat (with PVC Pipe)
Turkish getups with 35lb kettle bell
Sit-ups
Jumping pull-ups on rings
High knees running in place

Use a one minute rotation break between exercises.

I did not count reps, but probably should have. This probably wasn’t the best choice of exercises for a Tabata, but it was a good workout anyway.

Metcon day-Tabata This

Today I did a modified version of the CF workout Tabata This. Eight consecutive rounds of 20 seconds work/ten seconds rest for each exercise.

Workout and results were:

Jumping pullups 9-8-6-11-10-11-11-10 Total 76 (First three sets were standard pullups)

Situps 12-11-10-10-9-10-10-10 Total 82

Pushups 22-13-6-3-5-3-5-4 Total 61

Squats 13-12-13-10-11-10-10-10 Total 89

Total reps 308

I really wasn't gasping for air until I hit halfway through the squats. There was more muscular failure going on than cardio failure...but I did feel a bit of nausea later. I'm spent, so I'm happy with the workout. Thursday will have to be a bit more hardcore metcon. I wish I could run.
