Shaking off that Vacation Daze
Oh my gosh! 6am was super freaking early for me today. It was my first day back at work after 9 NINE days off!
You know me though! Always ready to sip my coffee and yell at people to workout harder!
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
Don't forget your stopwatch!
1. Jumping Jacks - nothing fancy here, but for the love of everything holy...JUMP
2. Bicep 💪🏼 Curls - Use the heaviest weight you can manage and go down in weight as your move through the rounds.
3. Squats With an Overhead Raise- Using a medium weight (mine in the photo is a little too small) dumbbell start in a squat position with the weight at the ground. As you stand keep straight arms and lift the weight out and over your head. Return to squat position and repeat.
4. Plank - Try to hold plank as long as you can without taking the 10 second breaks. Let your stopwatch keep running. IF you need a break, drop to your knees, count to 3 and pop back up to plank!!
5. UpDowns - Start laying down on your belly, stand all the way up. There are no jumps and no push-ups...you're welcome.
6. Lunge Kicks - Do a step back lunge, when you move back to the start don't let your foot tap the ground and kick out, step back and repeat.
7. Mountain Climbers - start in high plank, jump one foot forward and the the other.
8. Baby Scorpions - we've done this one before! If you need a refresher check out Routine #3 there's a photo and everything 😁
