Have to give this little timer a shout out again ! LOL It is awesome.

Today I went to the gym, and I did 3 tabatas …

1. 10.5 mph 1% incline

2. 15% incline 5 mph

3. 12 lb wall balls

Before doing the tabatas on the treadmill, I ran 2 miles, I got totally bored going at the same speed so I decided to get the tabata sprints in. After doing that and the incline tabata I thought I was going to die. Of course me being me, I had to take the sprints up to a super fast pace, no point doing it half hearted !

I could hear the beep over my ipod, which is cool, not sure if the beeping was annoying the people around me, but whatever, I was there to WORK !

I basically worked out for 12 minutes, but if you take the 10 second rest period off its 8 minutes.

8 minutes of working my butt off and I am out of there !

Tomorrow I have loads on so I will be working out at home, my plan is to take my kettlebells over to the green space by me and get some interval training in, I do not need to do tabatas every time so I’m thinking of 1 minutes circuits.

I spent longer stretching after my workout that the actual working out. All too often people miss this important aspect out of their training routine and then they wonder why they are getting injured and super sore.

Each time you work out it should ALWAYS have a warm up and cooldown and stretching. Depending on your workout either your strength training or cardio training in the middle.
