Tabata These... 26 June 2009 WOD

Ok folks, tomorrow we will all get introduced to the beauty of the Tabata interval. A Tabata interval is 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest, then 20 sec. of work, 10 rest, and so on and so on. Although it is a timekeeper's nightmare, (my problem) it is an extremely efficient work-rest interval.

Sumo Deadlift High Pull, 45 pound barbell
Rest 1 minute
Tabata Squat
Rest 1 minute
Tabata Pull-up
Rest 1 minute
Tabata Push-up
Rest 1 minute
Tabata Sit-up

Your Tabata score is the least number of reps performed in any of the eight intervals. At the end of the series you will have a score for each of the 5 exercises, a and total for final score. (E.G., 10, 22, 9, 15, 15 = 71)

We will review SDHPs very quickly after the warmup, review the format, and then get everybody started in 1-2 groups. This will be a blast.

This was truly a butt kicker, those pullups and pushups got the best of me. So who's going to clean up my house now that I have no arms to move around with :)
