Today was another one of those fun benchmark workouts — “Tabata Something Else”
8 Tabata Intervals (20 seconds of work; 10 seconds of rest) each of:
Pullups
Pushups
Situps
Squats
I got a tear on my right-hand ring finger pad on my very last pull-up. I think I lost count on the pull-ups too. Kipping really helped me. I never anchored my feet before on the situps, so that probably accounted for part of my increase there.
my reps were
pull-ups: 41 (+21(!) from last time)
push-ups: 43 (+6)
sit-ups: 81 (+19)
squats: 91 (+2)
overall total: 256
Congrats to my co-worker, Christian, who came for today’s free day.
Today was a lazy day at home, but at 9:00 I noticed that today’s workout didn’t require any weights, and I’d even done it before.
“Tabata Something Else”

Four weeks ago, I said that I hoped that this workout came up again soon. I guess I got my wish.

Someone posted an mp3 mix with beeps at the 20 and 10 second intervals, and another sound that signals to switch to the next exercise. It helped me a lot to not have to always be looking at my watch. I hope when this workout comes up again that I’ll do a bit better at it.
