Tabata Something Else

I took a yoga class this morning for the first time, and since I have done certain yoga workouts on my own at home before, I decided I wanted to try one of the most vigorous classes they had at the center. I probably should have done a little more practice before I went =) The movements we did in this class were like double the intensity of the ones I have worked on before, and I left that class feeling sooo sore!

I really want to work on my flexibility though and incorporate some of the movements I learned into my stretches everyday.

Think it's possible to do the splits as an adult if you were never able to do them as a child? Probably not for me, but it'll be fun to try =)



"Tabata Something Else"

Complete 32 intervals of 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest where the first 8 intervals are pull-ups, the second 8 are push-ups, the third 8 intervals are sit-ups, and finally, the last 8 intervals are squats. There is no rest between exercises.

WOD: 295 (16 rep PR plus switched from bands to kipping pullups)

My strategy was to start low and hold a certain number rather than max out first round. This worked pretty well overall except for situps (could have added so many more!) and maybe even pushups. I'm very happy with the PR, especially considering this is my first real metcon day back at CFV in a while, but know that I could have had a much higher score by starting with a higher number for situps. Will know for next time =)
