Pass the Pukie. Wait. Nevermind.

I woke up this morning not really feeling so bad. A little sore, but not so bad. That all went to shit as soon as this workout started. I, like most people, probably have a very love-hate relationship with the Tabata method of training. It’s great because it’s quick, compact, effective, and exhausting. It just absolutely sucks because you are sucking wind the entire time and your muscles just scream for rest, but they can’t have it.

Today’s open gym workout was:

Tabata{

  • Squat
  • Push up
  • Box Jump
  • Sit up
  • Sprint

}

My numbers kind of sucked today. As soon the the workout started the energy left my body. Here’s how my sets turned out:

You can see that my numbers aren’t as good as they are normally. Particularly, you can see the big fat “0” in the third round of the box jumps. That’s where I had to stop or I would have puked.

At any rate, I finished and now will be relaxing (cleaning the house, changing air filters, hanging shelves, cooking, designing shirts, and planning a wedding) for the rest of the day.
