We had a great workout this morning at boot camp! After running a mile (which Paulette improved her mile time by 1 minute 15 seconds this month--Go Paulette!), we then applied the Tabata Protocol to upright rows, squats, push-up, and rows. It was a killer workout that I'm sure I'll be feeling tomorrow!
If you've never done a Tabata workout, you should give it a try. Basically, you go all out for 20 seconds followed by a 10 second rest and repeat for a total of eight rounds (if your just starting out you might want to start with just six sets and work up from there). The Tabata Protocol can be applied to almost anything, running, swimming, burpees etc... The benefits are amazing! It improves both your aerobic AND anaerobic capacities. Plus, it is one of the best ways you can burn fat. With the high intensity interval training your body continues to burn fat at a higher rate long after your workout is over. You've gotta love that!
