July 22 - Tabata This

I'm almost too worn out to type in this little write up of our most recent WOD called "Tabata This," but here it goes...

Today we did this WOD which consisted of 5 exercises, 8 rounds each. In each round, you exercise for 20 seconds, rest for 10 seconds. Then you get 1 minute rest between each exercise.

Tally up your score, you take the lowest number of reps you got in a round for each exercise and add them up. My efforts looked like this:

Rows (45#): 13, 12, 12, 12, 8, 9, 8, 7 [score=7]
Squats: 24, 24, 24, 23, 23, 23, 24, 24 [score=23]
Pull Ups (green band): 13, 9, 10, 9, 7, 5, 5, 5 [score=5]
Push Ups: 14, 13, 11, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10 [score=10]
Sit Ups: 22, 22, 22, 21, 21, 21, 20, 20 [score=20]
Total: 65

I'm so worn out and sore. There is not a single muscle south of my chin that doesn't hurt. I actually started to tremble just by standing in the kitchen to get dinner together after this WOD. And then I couldn't even eat.

We *should* have done a reduced effort version of this WOD since we had never done it (or one like it) before today. But we didn't think of that until the damage was already done.

I seriously would like to go to bed and just stay there for the next week. *sigh*

I hope I burned some serious calories because I think chocolate is the only thing that can revive me at this point.
