Tabata This
Tabata Intervals ( 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest repeated 8 times) is applied in turn to the Squat, Rower, Pull-ups, Sit-ups, and Push-ups with a one minute rotation break between exercises. Each exercise is scored by the weakest number of reps (calories on the rower) in each of the eight intervals. During the one minute rotation time allowed the clock is not stopped but kept running. The score is the total of the scores from the five stations.
Some performance insights and a scoring example from Mark Twight:
Lying down between exercises lowers HR faster than standing, sitting or walking, indicating better recovery in the short 60 second rest.
Alternating upright exercise (squat, pull-up) with prone or seated exercises produces lower heart rates, and allows greater overall level of work
Rowing first reduces reps on all other exercises
Rowing reps are not seriously affected if done last
Scoring Example:A total score of 53 (Execllent score, BTW) is determined by adding up the lowest number of reps in any set of each exercise. 18 squats 4 pull-up 6 push-up 13 sit-up 12 row (use the calorie counter and call each calorie a rep) This score is a 53.
Note: Crossfit trains full range of motion exercises. Crunches are not sit-ups. Squats take your legs to or below parallel. Push-ups are from chest touching the ground to full lockout. Unless you have some physical impediment, please try to execute the exercises at full range of motion.
