Only when you're feeling like crap, hot as hell and lacking sleep.
I was waaaaaay off my PR of 67 today. I scored a 44.
I started with pushups. Probably should've done squats since it's my strong point. Ripped my left hand on the pullups, blisters on my right AND I came out of the gate waaaay too strong (first round=22) only to mess myself up physically and mentally during the last set (1). Boo!
Is there a reason it's so much harder for me to function in heat? I was raised in Washington so I love and thrive in the colder weather. This was like when I was down in Vegas- I had to pause throughout my workout because I was gasping for air. Taking shirts off don't do much there.
I also made a mix for today's "Tabata This!" that you can download here. It's more hip hop, of course.

"Smile and Look Alive!"
Nathan's and Elizabeth's Workout
TABATA:
Wall Ball Shots (12# Nathan, 6# Elizabeth)
Situps
Squats
Push Ups
Lunge
Hip Extensions on Ball
Jumping Jacks
Supermans
SCORES:
Nathan 84
Elizabeth 81
-------------
Dan and I have been tricking at the field on 90th and Wallingford the past week or so in an attempt to bring back the tricking crew known as the 'Gymnasties'. It's just been the two of us for now, but I've been letting other people know. Outdoor workouts are a nice change of scenery and are VERY refreshing.
So yesterday Dan, Adrian, Tammy met me at Greenlake for a session and it went pretty well. We ran through movement patterns, some basic gymnastics drills, and tricking skills (the 540 Kick). Later we moved onto Kettlebell work with swings, swings + chest taps, cleans, etc.
We're planning on having more outdoor group training sessions on a weekly basis, more if the weather is generous. Feel free to join and bring a friend or two, but be prepared to get dirty and sweaty!
Stay posted! I'll notify y'all with dates and times. You're gonna have to call me to find the location as I'm sure it'll constantly change. Leave a comment if you're interested in joining the fun.
enjoy!

"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.
