Today's workout is Tabata This!

This one is a doozy, folks! A real treat!

Let's talk about how to approach Tabata Intervals. There are pretty much two ways  to approach Tabata intervals.

Method One: Go For Broke (each interval).

• Leads to:
  
  • Utter Devastation
  • Not Your Best Score

Method Two: Pace yourself

• Leads to:
• Cheating yourself of a good score. If you go out too slowly and are capable of more than that pace in later rounds -- too bad! Your score is still going to be your lowest score for the round. This approach takes some experience.

A Third Way:

• Start Low, End High and don't worry about maximizing your score
  • In this method you go out easy in the first round and seek to increase your score each interval. While your score will be whatever you started with, you'll get a good idea of what your capacity actually is. This is a good thing to know!

Please take a moment to share with us the strategy you plan on using... and what you predict your score will be for each movement.
