I was doing great with the burpees...until this weekend. I did Fridays', and Saturdays, but missed Sundays. :( So, Monday I told myself that I would do Sunday's and Mondays, but the day turned out so busy that I didn't get to workout at all - with the exception of a 35 minute walk.
Here we are Tuesday, and I found that my buddy Shanan was in a similar position. So, we decided to start out noon hour of Tabata workout with yesterday's burpees, and conclude with todays burpees. Sounds great, right? WRONG! Phew, that was some kinda a$$ kicking!
Here's what it turned out to be:
- 40 burpees
- 20 seconds plank, 10 seconds flutter kick
- 20 second of 3 point toe touch (front, side, rear with other leg in squat position) alternating legs, 10 second rest
- 20 second wall sit, 10 second rest
- 20 second sit ups (with 10lb weight), 10 second twists (10lb with weight)
- 40 burpees
The best and least expensive piece of equipment that I've ever bought for myself is my
Gymboss, while it's useful for tons of things, it's really essential for tabata training. I think it cost me $20 (taxes in)!
As a reminder of what a tabata looks like, here's a quick chart that illustrates it quite well.
And finally, to leave things at a happy place, here's a last image that popped up with I Googled the words tabata training :)
Enjoy! ; )
