“Tabata This”
Complete 40 intervals of 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest where the first eight intervals are squats, the second eight intervals are rowing, the third eight intervals are pull-ups, the fourth eight intervals are sit-ups, and finally, the last eight intervals are pushups. There is a one-minute rotation break between exercises.
Each exercise is scored by the lowest number of repetitions (calories on the rower) in each of the eight intervals. During the one minute rotation break, the clock is not stopped, but kept running.
This workout is scored by the total score from each of the five exercises.
John,
If I don’t have a rowing machine should I substitute the treadmill?

Thanks Dave,
Do you have a barbell or 45-lb. dumbbell that you can substitute sumo deadlift high-pulls? If so, just count single repetitions.
John
Ok thanks, John.

Didn’t we do this tabada series once before (I think it was a Friday)? Do we have scores for that?
Amy,
The last Tabata series we did was on May 15, but it was a different order, there was no rowing or rest between exercises, and we scored the total number of repetitions. It was a totally different workout.
John
Thanks, John. I remembered doing squats in the prior Tabata, so I thought maybe they were the same. One Tabata series is just like another to me. The end result is always the same – How can I feel so tired when the repetitions were over such a short period and even had rest breaks in between!
