3/4 Ain't Bad

Last night I was determined to work out even if I had a coffee date with an old schoolmate (hi Kate!)

Sheena, Mike and myself warmed up, played with the C2 a bit and then went through some skills. Weird thing is we all finished our respective workouts at (nearly) the same time.

----

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 rep rds for time:
Push Press, 45lbs
KB SDLHP, 1 pood
KB Swings, 1 pood

Mike 10:30

----

21-15-9 rep rds for time:
DB Push Press, 30lbs
KB SDLHP, 8kg
KB Goblet Squat, 8kg
KB Swing, 8kg

Sheena 10:30

----

10-Min KB Swing Test (CF Style)

Andrew 208, 16kg

I still want to workout today. Maybe after the Seahawks game because I'm gonna have some people over.

GO HAWKS!

"Domo Arigatoo Mr. Tabata"

with the subject i discussed in my last post, i decided to create my own Tabata Interval workout and it has been dubbed "Domo Arigatoo Mr. Tabata"

Exercises:
KB Swing (1 pood) - swing must past head level, catch in squat position
KB Squat - touch the ground
KB SLDL - touch the ground
Burpees
Push Ups
Sit Ups - Naval style (hands crossed on shoulders/arms, elbows touch thigh)
Row (for Calories)

Scoring:
add all lowest number of reps/calories in each exercise. total of all numbers equal your score.

my score today was 71*.

it has been said to do Tabata workouts twice a month for maximal results. i plan on doing that starting in April. today was my test run and it treated me well.



*i also attempted to do the CrossFit WOD "Michael" but it was interrupted due to me forgetting i had a client at 5:30. i only reached the end of the second round and i had to stop.
