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

Hybrid Tabata Intervals

Follow the tabata interval protocol (20 seconds work/10 seconds rest) for the following exercises, in a circuit:

  • Burpees (9, 9, 9, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8)
  • Mountain Climbers
  • Pushups (22, 17, 14, 15, 14, 14, 15, 13)
  • Squats (19, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20)
  • Chinnies

Repeat circuit 8x for 20 minutes total.

This is a real ass kicker. My burpee numbers improved slightly from last time (+3), squats were about the same (+1), and pushups improved significantly (+15). I think it’s partly due to spacing out the burpees and pushups, but also because I didn’t pace myself on the pushups this time - I just went to failure each set.
