Tabata Chest
December 27, 2009 by Joe Gigantino
Today, let’s blast our chest and triceps with this upper body Tabata chest workout routine (intense 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off for 4 minutes) for a great workout to get your heart rate up, build muscle, boost metabolism and shred the fat!
Warm up: jog 1 mile
Tabata Workout Routine:
- Exercise 1, Tabata Bench Press; do as many reps as you can for 20 seconds, 10 second rest, continue for 4 minutes.
Men 135 lbs, Women 65 lbs, Beginners 45 lb bar.
Scoring -- what ever your lowest rep in any of the eight rounds is that will be your high score. So if in one of the rounds you only do 5 reps then that will be your score for the workout.
- Indoor Row for 2k
- Exercise 2, Tabata Push Ups; hands should be under the shoulders (not a wide hand position) do as many as you can for 20 seconds, 10 second rest, continue for 4 minutes.
Again your lowest rep in any of the eight rounds that is your score for the round. Go to your knees if you have to.
- Post your score for the Bench and Push ups! Don’t give up!
