Today is Tabata Tuesday! If I understand the instructions correctly (and that's a big IF), this is what I'm to do - exercise for 20 seconds, rest for 10 seconds doing 8 consecutive intervals of the following exercises:
Wall Ball - 10 lbs
Sumo Deadlift High Pull - 20 lbs
Box Jump
Push Press - 20 lbs
Score each individual round - of course the lowest number is the only score that counts, then add all scores together to get a final, overal score. Confusing, right? I had to re-read it, but am fairly confident I'm correct. For example -
1 - count # of wall balls for 20 seconds - rest 10 seconds - 2 count # of wall balls for 20 seconds - rest 10 seconds - 3 - count # of wall balls for 20 seconds - rest 10 seconds, etc. until you do 8 rounds. Write your score down during your 10 second rest. Use only the lowest score and move on to the next exercise.
Got it!
Today's Squat-A-Thon number is 35 and I must say between my squats, little run, and burpees - I can definitely feel my ass today! I had to take some aspirin last night to stop the throbbing. :)

That was a hard, quick workout!! Thanks, Jenni! I scored as follows:
10 on 4# Wall Ball - 10-11-11-14-12-12-11-11
14 on 24# Deadlift High Pull - 14-15-16-15-15-14-15-14
8 on 9" Box Jump - 8-10-9-9-9-9-9-9
17 on 24# Push Press - 21-18-18-20-21-18-17-19
Total Score = 49
Not bad, but still mad about that 17 on the push press. My left arm was so shaky when I went up on #16, so I brought them both down and shook 'em out - then only had time to go back up once more! ARGH!! Another weird quirk, my lowest score was on my first round of each exercise. I guess I just started slow - I do know I kept telling myself "Do not go below" whatever number that first one was and really pushed myself that way. Especially with the box jumps - those are killer! Can't wait until tomorrow. :)
OH! Did my 35 squats this morning and feeling them this afternoon! ;)
