My lungs are still burning. First Tabata workout completed.
After a bit of stretching (and wow! I could touch my toes despite months of not stretching) I did alternating jumping jacks and running in place while swishing my arms back and forth at shoulder level. Did I do it well? I don't know. I just know I did it and my lungs haven't had such a workout in I don't know when.
Tabata. It's short for Four Minutes of Hell. It's a HIIT style workout. You do the exercise you are doing as hard and fast as you can do it for 20 seconds, then you rest for 10 seconds. Repeat 8 times. If you are in shape, you might want to do more than one 4 minute cycle.
It's supposed to be good for you. This is an exercise I think I can make room for in my life.
