It don't Tabata me if it don't Tabata you.... We love Tabata's at CFSF and have done just about everything possible using the Tabata format. Some are a little more fun than others, but they all deliver.

Today was no different. Crushed. Felt great!

'Tabata Something Else'

32 intervals of :20 work, and :10 seconds rest:
Pull-ups
Push-ups
Sit-ups

No rest between exercises. All reps are counted.

Great workout everyone. Monster reps Caitlin, Ryan, and Russell. Strong stuff!

The key to a successful Tabata is pace. Go out too fast and you're toast. Since all reps are counted, the all-out approach is what most people use. This is where we see numbers drop off with each successive round.

We like consistency. As an example, if you got 15 reps on the first round, we want you to be able to get pretty close to 15 reps on the last few rounds as well. This requires good pacing. Being a firebreather doesn't hurt either....

Good job holding on tightly through to the end. The only way out was through.

Monday is a rest day. Use your extra time wisely. Open gym 5:15-6:15 weather permitting.
