Tabata ;)

First time I've ever done a Tabata workout. Tabata workouts are long and very painful to say the least! 

There was 4 different exercises in the Tabata today, kettle bell swings, push-ups, sit-ups, and double unders. 

There are 8 rounds for Each exercise spending 20 seconds on and 10 seconds off, non stop until 8 rounds are complete. The catch (because there is always a catch)... The lowest round is the round that counts towards your total. For instance, let's say for the first 20 seconds, I get 10 kettle bell swings... For the second 20 seconds, I get 10, but for the third I get 9. My total is now 9. Basically, you have to keep your stamina and strength the entire 8 rounds or else your scores will be low. 

Here's what the workout looked like. 

Oh yeah, we also did front squats before Tabata, 25 of them using 85-95 pounds. 

Here's us during this dreadful thing

(As I smile lol)

(Me and Julie are dying.. Probably due to the fact that our abs were on fire and were cramping up so bad from the sit-ups)

Results:

I only had a total of 26. However, I used the 35 lb kettle bell and did double unders, so I am proud! That workout was not easy and I am going to be crying tomorrow in pain.

Scratch that, I'm crying already from yesterday's deadlifts and squats :*0 

Nice job tonight everyone!
