First Bootcamp of October!!

This week's workout is a total-body tabata workout! For those of you who are not familiar with tabata, it's simple! You do the instructed exercise for 20 seconds, rest for 10 seconds, then go back to the exercise. Alternating 20 seconds of work with 10 seconds of rest for 4 minutes, giving you 8 "rounds" of the exercise! I'd recommend downloading a tabata timer app on your phone-its just easier than using the stopwatch. Trust.


SO! Total Body Tabata Workout:
You will need: medium-heavy weights, mat, jump rope, KB or heavy DB, and a medicine ball!

Set 1:
Squat to Shoulder Press (med-heavy weight)
Plank Jax
Alternate the two exercises, so you'll do each 4 times!

Set 2:
Push-up to Row (med-heavy weight)
Mountain Climbers
Alternate the two exercises, so you'll do each 4 times!

Set 3:
Reverse Lunge (med-heavy weight)
Russian Twists (heavy weight)
Alternate the two exercises, so you'll do each 4 times!

Set 4:
Tricep Dips
Kettlebell/Dumbbell Swing (heavy weight)
Alternate the two exercises, so you'll do each 4 times!

Set 5:
Jump Rope
Medball Slams (heavy)
Alternate the two exercises, so you'll do each 4 times!


Make sure you're watching FORM! There's no shame in dropping the weight if you start sacrificing form. Better to do it right and light than ugly and heavy! :)
