Never the original

We always seem to do the "Something Else" version of tabata intervals, so I had to look up the original just to see what it was. Let's switch it up by trying the original.

"Tabata This"
8 tabata intervals (20 seconds work followed by 10 seconds rest) of each of the following.
  • Squats
  • Pull-ups
  • Push-ups
  • Sit-ups
  • Rower (Calories), sub SDLHP reps
Rest exactly 1 minute between exercises. All 8 intervals for each exercise are performed consecutively. Keep track of reps performed each round for all intervals of all exercises. Score is the sum of the lowest number of reps for each exercise in any set.

Results:
Seth - 44
  • Squats - 15,15,15,15,15,15,15,15 - Minimum: 15, Total: 120
  • Pull-Ups - 8,8,8,8,8,8,8,7 - Minimum: 7, Total: 63
  • Push Ups - 9,9,9,9,9,9,7,7 - Minimum: 7, Total: 68
  • Sit Ups - 12,11,10,10,10,10,10,9 - Minimum: 9, Total: 82
  • SDLHP - 11,8,9,8,6,6,6,7 - Minimum: 6, Total: 61

I did a similar workout to my alternate workout from yesterday:

5 rounds for time of:
15 Deadlift, 135#
15 Push-ups

11:54

Then immediately go to

AMRAP in 15 minutes of:
400m runs
25 situps
10 lateral burpees

3 1/3 rounds

Pretty sweaty/huffing and puffing at the end!
