Tabata combo
Hey hey,
Today’s workout is a Tabata combo. There are four movements involved, and you will have 1 min to rest between each station.
"The Tabata interval is 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest for 8 intervals."
Sounds like a great deal: you only need to work out 20s and have 10s to rest! But things get tough very soon, especially for the GHDs. Please scale down the range of the movement and/or use other sit-up variations.
Also, be careful of the push press. Make sure that you have a good technique and do not overarch your low back just to push that one last rep. Use that dip-drive momentum and keep your core tight. It is tough after the GHDs.
For the dumbbell box step-ups and bar-facing burpees, make sure you reach the full range of movements and keep moving in that 20s.
Find a number for each movement and stick to it for 8 rounds.
Cheers,
TW
