RWFit.com Workout: Monday 10/1/12
No, tabatas aren't a new Mexican dish. It's an exercise format that consists of 20 seconds of effort followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated 8 times for a total of 4 minutes of exercise time.
Tonight I mixed some tabatas into my workout for a little variety.
Round 1: 4:00 tabatas of each exercise
- Hammer Curls
- Kettlebell Snatches (4:00 for each arm)
- Tricep Kickback
Round 2: 3 Sets of each exercise (max reps each set)
- Strict Chin-ups
- Dumbbell Shoulder Presses
- Weighted Bench Dips (25# Sandbag across lap, feet on raised platform)
Result
Wow, those tabatas really take a toll. By the end of each tabata set the muscle was pretty toast. Luckily I had some recovery time (due to the next set of tabatas) to get ready for Round 2.
