Good Morning 🌞 Burpees!
I can't think of a better exercise to start off a 6am Monday class!
Reminder on what it's all about:
Tabata training is a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout. This type of training (high-intensity interval training) has greater impact on both the aerobic and anaerobic systems.
8 Exercises
4 Minutes Per Exercise
8 Rounds of 20 Seconds of 150% Effort and 10 Seconds of Rest
Get your stop watch and let's get to work!!
1. Burpees - do not preform a push up for this burpee, but DO jump!! I want to see the air under your feet!!
2. Push ups - start in the hardest for you can manage and still have good form! If by the end of the 8th round your are in table top form...no worries, we won't judge you!
3. Leg lifts - this ones for your abs! Lay on you back and lift your legs in the air until your body is at a 90 degree angle. Lower your legs slowly (keeping them straight) until they are about 6 inches off of the ground.
4. Line Jumps - I also sometimes call these square jumps because the flooring in our gym is big different colored tiles. Basically you are jumping either side to side or front to back. Make your moves count!
5. Shoulder Work - we did this one back in Routine #2. Take a look for photos.
6. Overhead Squat Jumps - Hold your hands up over your head, don't let them drop below your ears!! Squat and Jump!
7. Single Leg Hip Bridge with Chest Press - lay on your back and press up into hip bridge. Lift one leg up and keep your thighs parallel to each other. Use medium weights for chest press while you hold the single leg bridge. Switch legs each round.
8. Plank - hold this low plank for as long as you can...do not take 10 second breaks. If you can hold it for 4 min, fantastic! If you need a break, drop to your knees, count to 3 and then get back into plank.
