Tabata This

Well my friends, another week in the bag and a new one upon us. Took to the park to take on the Tabata This WOD. From reading up on this and watching a few videos, I knew I was in for a ride.

The workout goes like this:

Tabata Row

Rest 1 minute

Tabata Squat

Rest 1 minute

Tabata Pull-up

Rest 1 minute

Tabata Push-up

Rest 1 minute

Tabata Sit-up

The Tabata interval is 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest for 8 intervals.

Tabata score is the least number of reps performed in any of the eight intervals. Unit for the row is “calories”.

Seeing as I was outside and didnt have the option for the row or the sub, I had to skip the first part of this workout. I brought my friend Dan along for the ride and gave him the honor of going first.
