Tabata Workout in the dry Copy Room!

Tabata Workout in the dry Copy Room!

In preparation for the rain, the plan was to have our Tabata workout under the shelter of the covered Copy Room where we could stay dry. But with the weather over 55 degrees we were soaked when we finished! 9 guys made it out to our Tabata workout at The Floater with a 5:30 am start.

Warm Up: A quick mosey to a gas station across from the Waxhaw Water Tower that had protective cover for our men. Disclaiimer given (they cant’t sew the gas station). 20 SSH, 20 potato pickers, Imperial Walkers, Michael Phelps (small circles, wider, real big circles).

The Thang: Mosey down the street to a church close by that had a covered area behind the parking lot. This structure was given the name, The Copy Room. The Tabata workout consisted of: Category 1- Cardio – 25 seconds on, 10 second break – 4 exercises per category A. SSH B. High knee kicks C: Side-to-side jumps D: Speed skaters – perform each exercise twice. 60 seconds between concentration.

Category 2 – Chest – Merkins, incline, wide and close hand.

Category 3 – Triceps and shoulders – Dips, Plank moves, plank jack, elbows and hold at 6 inches

Category 4 – Abs – Crunches, Flutter, Leg extensions, American hammers

Category 5 – Legs – Step-up’s, Low slow squat, front lunges, side lunges

Category 6 – Repeat Category 1 for Cardio

There was plenty of moaning and groaning as we learned the meaning of “no pain, no gain!”
