There Will Be Sweat

Probably some blood too. No tears though. Never tears.

Tabata Something Similar

Sorta like ‘Tabata Something Else’ from Crossfit, but modified so the exercises are performed in a circuit, rather than focusing on one exercise for 4 minutes before moving on. Everything done Tabata style (20 sec work followed by 10 sec rest):

  • Pullups (8)
  • Pushups (10)
  • Situps (12)
  • Squats (16)

Repeat circuit 8x for 16 minutes total.

The numbers are higher than they would have been had this been a true Tabata workout, but I didn’t do it circuit-style as an easy way out. This is harder in some ways because you muscular endurance isn’t the limiting factor so much so you have to keep moving - more work in the same time period. Anyway, it kicked my ass.
