Tabatas and a Busy Day

My day got started with several brisk 1/2 mile warmup/cooldown walks with clients and a killer Tabata workout with the last client.....working out with my client gave us both a little extra push and I'm sure we'll be feeling it tomorrow.
But, that ended up being the lighter part of my day. The rest of the day was filled with business paperwork, laundry, dishes, sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, dusting, etc, etc, etc....all of the things I put off for far too long.

Common Terms and General Notes


The Punisher -- a narrow forest trail that gains about 1500 ft elevation in a little over a mile. The full circuit includes a run/hike of about 1 mile to get to the trailhead and about a 3 mile run/hike to get back down. This makes the Table Rocks seem like a walk in the park.

Tabatas -- high intensity interval protocol where an exercise is done at full 100% intensity for 20 seconds followed by 10 seconds of rest -- the default number of these intervals is 8 -- done properly, these will knock you on your butt!!

Various Random Activities (VRAs) -- these may include such things as gardening, housework, ADL, XST, ASA, short walks, etc........use your imagination.

Abbreviations -- DB=dumbbell -- BB=barbell -- SB=stability ball -- KB=kettlebell -- MB=medicine ball -- SLDL=straight (or stiff) leg deadlifts
