Tabata This!



Today we hiked a whopping 10 miles! The sun was shining as we started out on our super long hike, but by mid morning the clouds rolled in and within minutes we got hit by a crazy hail storm! Bam outta no where! We were slippin'n' slidin' all over the place! It made for a looooong day in the desert, that's for sure.

So, yesterday I did a Tabata workout using this nifty little online timer. It allows you to adjust the alerts and display for yourself. Super easy.

Tabata WOD for yesterday:
Jumping pull-ups (using my doorgym)
Push-ups
Sit-ups
Squats
Total Rep: 323

Tabata intervals are 8 rounds of 20 seconds on followed by 10 seconds of rest. They are short, high intensity intervals that are a perfect for those with little time and no equipment.

Today's Wod: Hmm...max rep L- pullups. If I don't pass out first.
