Tabata Workout #2
Tabatas!
Woohoo!!!
In case you don't know the drill by now, set an interval timer (I like the free Gymboss App on my phone) for 4-8 rounds of 20 sec work and 10 sec rest.
You perform Exercise #1 for 20 seconds, then rest of 10 seconds, then do that same exercise again for 20 seconds, rest for 10 seconds, etc., until you have completed all 8 rounds (or 4 or 6).
After each complete Tabata, you will have 1 minute of cardio. Work hard and you'll burn A LOT of calories! During the work period, go all-out. Count how many reps you do and try to match that or beat that on all subsequent rounds.
Yes, it's hard when you give it your all, but it is SOOOO worth it!
