Fitness - Tabata Tuesday WOD - 11/03

My shoulders felt like they were going to fall off this morning. Pretty sore in that area.

Today's WOD was nothing fancy, just plain old Tabata's: 8 rounds of 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off, for a total of 4 minutes of work. Recording the least amount of reps in any one 20-10 set during that one movement.

WOD:
Tabata Tuesday
Push ups - 11
Sit ups - 14
American kettle bell swings (32 Kg bell) - 12
Air squats - 20

Tabata Total: 57
Calories burned: (WOD and finisher): 471

We finished the day with a 400m heavy farmers walk. I chose to go with a 32 Kg (70.5#) kettle bell in each hand.

I felt good with the tabata's today. I definitely strategized more than I have in the past. I paced myself and didn't over do it out of the gate so I could have more consistent sets and more gas in the tank in the later rounds. I can tell that my muscle endurance has improved dramatically, which feels great.

The farmer's walk was pretty tough. I got to about the 150 meter mark before setting it down to rest my grip and shoulders. From them on I was only able to walk about 50 meter's before my grip failed and my forearms were on fire.
