Need a New Workout??

I am really enjoying these short, super tough workouts.  I burn just as many calories as I do in an hour long class and I can be showered in ready for the day before I would even make it to cool-down in class.

Here's a fun one for you:

Do 4 Rounds of this:

Tabatas

Pull-Ups (if you can't do one, just modify with a chair back or a resistance band).  If you don't have a way to do pull-ups, substitute HEAVY shoulder press - like 30lb DBs

Burpee Deadlifts (Burpee and the end stand into a deadlift with HEAVY weights 30-50DBs)

Press-Ups (a push-up where your chest touches the ground)

Tuck Jumps

A Tabata is an effective form of exercise where you push yourself to the max for 20 seconds and recover for 10 seconds.  Set a GymBoss Timer for 20seconds/10seconds or download a Timer App that has a tabata function.  There are several free available - just search CrossFit timer.  To execute the workout, do 20/10s for each exercise two times through then rest for 1-2minutes. Repeat the entire sequence.  Do this 4 times total.  Each tabata is 4 minutes long, you will work a total of 16 minutes. 

I know right - you are confused...download the timer and you will understand!!
