TABATA:
For twenty seconds do as many reps of the assigned exercise as you can – then rest 10 seconds. Repeat this seven more times for a total of 8 intervals, 4 minutes total exercise. The score is the least number of reps for any of the eight intervals.
Keeping track:
It is important to keep track of that lowest number for each exercise. We will do the same tabata as a benchmark, so only record the lowest.
