Today’s Tabata workout is slightly different than others we have done.  You will get a 1 minute rest between movements and we will score it by the total of the lowest number of reps in each of the 8 intervals.  This changes the strategy slightly.  You don’t want to get 20 pull-ups your first round and drop to 2 by the last.  Pick a number that you know you can consistently achieve throughout all 8 intervals and work hard to hit that rep count each time.  “Tabata This” is a benchmark wod and has been around CrossFit since the beginning.  Come in and give it a try.  You won’t be disapointed.  Interval training is an awesome way to ramp up intensity!

Workout of the Day (WOD) 11/26/13:

“Tabata This”

Perform 8 tabata rounds of each movement:

  • Squat
  • Row(calories)
  • Pull-ups
  • Sit-ups
  • Push-ups

Tabata Intervals ( 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest repeated 8 times) is applied in turn to the Squat, Rower, Pullups, Sit-ups, and Push-ups with a one minute rotation break between exercises. Each exercise is scored by the lowest number of reps (calories on the rower) in each of the eight intervals. During the one minute rotation time allowed the clock is not stopped but kept running. The score is the total of the scores from the five stations.
