Last night I did a drill called Tabata. I did 20 seconds of as many of the exercise as possible, 100% full effort (keeping good form) and only a 10 second rest. You do 8 intervals of this without stopping. It takes about 4 minutes, but it's the hardest 4 minutes of your life.
I did alternating lunges last night...and it wasn't that bad. My legs felt like jello-o but it felt GOOD. Here's a link for more info on the tabata drill. It will kick your booty!
Tabata Protocol
Today I did the Tabata drill again, but I did burpees instead of lunges. Shoot me now. Those are HARD.
Demonstration!

| 1.Begin squatted, then jump backwards, both legs at the same time |

| 2.This is coming into the squatted position, about to jump up |

| 3.This is the jump at the end of the burpee |
I challenge you to try Tabata (with any exercise: jumping jacks, squats, burpees, planks etc.)
Have fun!

Go Meagan! You are inspiring. Makes me tired just looking at this. I might try it, just to say I tried it. I'll let you know how it goes. Andy said he tried it once and was so sore:(
I'm doing burpees today! I watched a video of a guy who did a pull up in between every one. Crazy!
Woah! Rach.. Tabata alone kicks your booty, so adding a pull up is utter insanity! haha! Have fun :)
Yeah I'm not about to try it with the pull ups!
