Tabata Training: Is Tabata Training the Ultimate Cardio Workout?
8 rounds of 20 long seconds of work, 10 short seconds of rest. Tabata workouts both crawl and fly by.
Notes:
This a great demonstration of athleticism by two Games athletes. It also is a great demonstration of one not understanding pacing in a workout. Especially one designed to be a short but heavy barbell-gymnastics couplet. Had Lindsey understood that winning round one by going unbroken would tax her as much as it did, she might have slowed it down like Briggs, and been much closer in the end. Both are beasts and crushed a very tough workout, but a lesson nonetheless in pacing.

I posted this yesterday, but if you haven’t seen it yet its a great interview of 2 times Games champ Annie T. Watching it makes me like her even more.
