Day 10

Whooo! TEN! Nice.

Today's agenda... Tabata Intervals! What exactly are tabata intervals? From the official CrossFit FAQ that you should have already read:
  • For twenty seconds do as many reps of the assigned exercise as you can - then rest 10 seconds.
  • Repeat this seven more times for a total of 8 intervals, 4 minutes total exercise.
  • The score is the least number of reps for any of the eight intervals.
WATCH some "Bottom-to-Bottom Tabata Squats":



WOD:

record your reps and your "scores"!

beginners: tabata squats, situps and pushups

intermediate: tabata squats, pullups, pushups and situps

advanced: "Tabata This!" (if at home, sub Row w/ Sumo-Deadlift High Pull)

You can find plenty of timers online. If you click this, it'll take you to some tabata labeled things we've done in the past, as well as music downloads of songs I've edited to Tabata intervals: 20 seconds of music, 10 seconds of silence repeated eight times with an extra "rest" minute of music at the end. Enjoy!

FOD:

STRETCH! I don't care how- World's Greatest Stretch, Samson Stretch, Yoga stuff, dynamic movements, etc... Stretch to the point of "uncomfort", but not pain.
