This week's workout: Tabata Training

Because I'm asked so much to email the workouts we do in Fitcamps, I've decided to put them all up on my site! Now if you like a workout...you know where to go to get it! Or, if you wanna try some of the things we do in fitcamps...now they are here. Although they just aren't the same without the fun groups and me yellin and correcting your form :)
This week was Tabata Training which although really tough is still always a favorite and is great for an at home workout once you download the Tabata Timer on your smartphone! Yay! The Tabata workout is 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest for 8 sets. Choose any 4 exercises and you will repeat them twice. Tabata workouts are done faster than most. You should try to complete as many repetitions of each exercise as you can in that 20 second work period! The great thing is that each round is only 4 minutes, so if you only have a few minutes for a workout, do just one round. If you have 20 minutes you can do 5 and get a really great workout!
So....here are the exercises we did this week:
