Lunch Workout 8-19-2009

My first day back from vacation and I thought I wouldn't push it too far so I did a 25 interval tabata. Tabatas consist of intervals of 20 seconds of hard work and 10 seconds of rest. It may sound easy enough but try doing your intervals on an Airdyne bike going full guns for the 20 seconds and you will get smoked very quickly. Ten seconds is not a whole lot of time to recover either.

For this workout I alternated 5 intervals on the Airdyne with 5 intervals of thrusters using the 26 pound Bulgarian Training Bag. I usually try to do 20 minutes worth (40 intervals) but being that it is my first day back I stopped at 25 intervals which is twelve and half minutes.
