Monday, April 25 'Tabata Something Else"

TABATA! Just hearing that name evokes some interesting feelings. Just four minutes of work all together... Only this time NO REST! What a difference, huh? Personally, I love the Tabata protocol. Applicable to just about ANYTHING (including delivery... think about it), the intervals are perfectly balanced to allow high  intensity right up through to the end. The question is, just how comfortable are you in very uncomfortable situations?

'Tabata Something Else'
32 intervals of  :20 seconds work, followed by  :10 seconds rest.
First 8 are pull-ups, then push-ups, sit-ups, and squats.
No rest between exercises, and total reps are counted.

Eric- 316
Tonya- 337
Chris- 239
Sam- (1/2) 146
Matt- 347
Tammy- 314
Brad- 337
Brandi- 326
John- 334
Dan- 393
Holley- 242
LaRunda- 335
Sharon- 256
T- 385
Casey- 340

Great session guys! Great totals Dan and Tonya! Super strong efforts, and great fuel that kept us all going. Was there a strategy to your Tabata? We learn early on that if too much is spent in the first few rounds, we soon are bankrupt of any fuel by the end.

The beautiful thing about the Tabata is that it allows for training in all three metabolic pathways. Immediate, short, and long-term energy. Perform enough Tabata's, and you will see and feel big increases in work capacity.

Thanks for another great day at CFSF. Thanks for the fuel.
