Tabatas and X-Trainer

This afternoon I pieced together a workout of Tabatas.....pullups, squat thrusts, pushups, SB crunches, squats and SB leg curls.
I definitely find the Gymboss Interval Timer invaluable in doing Tabatas since it can be set to beep at the 20 and 10 second intervals. Much more accurate than trying to watch the second hand on the clock......besides, if you're doing Tabatas right, you shouldn't be able to concentrate on a clock or even see it at all.
After this, I spent 1/2 hr on the x-trainer.

Hi! I'm Patrick Frey, your in-home, online and on-the-trail Personal Trainer, Fitness Educator, and Strength & Conditioning Specialist. With over 35 years of fitness experience, and certifications from the National Strength and Conditioning Association, the International Sports Sciences Association, and the American Council on Exercise, I have the knowledge and experience you need to reach your health and fitness goals. My interests over the years have included running, bicycling, cross-country skiing, hiking, backpacking, bodybuilding, powerlifting, olympic lifting, volleyball, and general health, fitness and nutrition. I've trained hundreds of people of all ages and abilities from elite athletes to sedentary couch potatoes, in everything from well equipped gyms to un-equipped homes, online, in the park and on the trails. To me, there's nothing more exciting than helping people improve their health, look better, feel better, or improve their sports performance.
