"Tabata This"

Tabata Intervals ( 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest repeated 8 times) is applied in turn to the Squat, Rower, Pullups, Sit-ups, and Push-ups with a one minute rotation break between exercises. Each exercise is scored by the weakest number of reps (calories on the rower) in each of the eight intervals. During the one minute rotation time allowed the clock is not stopped but kept running. The score is the total of the scores from the five stations.

Until the pull-up bar is assembled here at CrossFit Boston we are substituting the kettlebell swing.

Scoring Example:A total score of 53 (Execllent score, BTW) is determined by adding up the lowest number of reps in any set of each exercise.

18 squats
4 pull-up
6 push-up
13 sit-up
12 row (use the calorie counter and call each calorie a rep) This score is a 53.

One giddy camper, here, with the KB swing substitution.

Feel free, Neal, to take whatever time you need to install that pull-up bar. No need to rush, now.
