As you can see it has been a very busy day and this is my first chance on the computer since 4.30am this morning….

I have a lot of work to do tonight so I will keep this brief.

Did my first Tabata fitness training session today. Had never heard of it so I had NO idea what it was or what to expect ( thank god or I wouldn’t have turned up…)

So you know Tabata consists of 20 seconds working/ 10 seconds rest x 8 sets of whatever you decide you are training on the day.

We selected four exercises. This session had no name so we have named it Laura.

Laura

chin ups x 8 sets

push ups x 8 sets

bum to m/b squats x 8 sets

sit ups x 8 sets

1 x minute rest between exercises

The idea of Tabata is to complete as many reps a possible in the 20 seconds of work time. On each exercise I went out way to hard and paid the price on each and every exercise today. Believe me 10 seconds rest was not enough to even scratch my arm let alone recover for another set. By the time I got to the 6 - 8th sets I was lucky to do 6 reps of any exercise today.

For all those Succeed Bootcamp clients and Personal Training clients across Canberra, I can guarantee that you will be getting a Tabata in your training somewhere in the coming weeks.
