Tabata

I love tabatas. I've said it before but let me say it again, I.Love.Tabatas.

They sound simple but if you did it right, they're anything but.

You do 8 rounds-
20 seconds "on" ... "on" means an all out of anything- as fast and as hard as you can
10 seconds "off".... "off" means stop doing whatever you were doing above

In other words, it's only 4 minutes!

Heading to the gym tonight, my palms are still in a lot of pain. I knew I couldn't hold any weight or do anything like a pull-up, push-up, or burpee.

I did 3 different tabatas instead.
#1 - Bike tabata - level 15 resistence - killer for my quads but awesome!
#2 - Sprint tabata - 8.5 mph - possibly could have gone faster but didn't want to chance it with my hips and calves.
#3 - Squat tabata - "air" squats as many reps as I could each round- here's how my reps looked-
17, 15, 14, 14, 14, 13, 13, 14

I was dripping in sweat when all was said and done. It was a great workout!

I also did much better today with my eating and only had 1 chocolate chip cookie.
