Weekly Workout # 14 - Tabata Style!

We are changing things up a little this week just to do something fun. This workout will be Tabata style. For those of you who do not know what Tabata is it is a style of workout developed in Japan by a man named Izumi Tabata. He was researching the effect of certain exercises when he discovered that short high intensity bursts of exercise followed by a very short rest and then repeated for 8 minutes or longer was a way to not only increase your endurance but turns your body into a super fat burning machine. Many athletes and especially Olympians do Tabata workout's in addition to their normal regimen because of it's ability to deliver serious results in minimum time.
So for this workout you will need a timer, I suggest using this one so you do not have to keep your eyes on the clock, it gives bells and buzzers to alert you when to begin and when to take your rest. We will be doing 5 different exercises for a total of 10 minutes. You will do one exercise for 50 seconds as hard and fast as you can and then you have a 10 second rest. You will repeat this pattern with each exercise which means you will do every exercise twice. After your 10 minute mark you will have 1 full minute to rest and then the mini set will follow our normal routine but make sure and have your weights!
