The weather is truly amazing and unpredictable – I went to bed last night with it showing thunderstorms all night long and woke up to no rain!  I had packed up my car last night with all my equipment for our workout this morning in the hopes that the weather would be clear and it was.  YAY!!  Now I know that I have used this workout in the past, with minor tweaks, but I thought it made since because it is an AO using weights.  Anywho, the workout is a circuit tabata workout that I LOVE doing.  🙂

Warmup

Dynamic warmup of walking high knees, walking buttkickers, walking toy soldiers, running high knees, arm circles (forward and backward) and Phelps arms.

The Thang

The circuit tabata workout today has 9 different stations with an exercise per station.  Each Pax went to the station where they wanted to begin the tabata – normally all stations would be completed for the workout.  Each station represents one tabata.  Each tabata includes 8 cycles of 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest.  There is 30 seconds of rest between each tabata.

Stations 

• Battle ropes
• Goblet Squats w/20# dumbbell
• Jump Squats
• Kettlebell swings
• Ball slams w/15# or 20# slam ball
• Glute bridges w/booty band and 20# dumbbell
• Plank jacks
• Lat raises-Front raises-Upright row combo with dumbbells
• Jump rope

That was all we had time for this morning and actually we had to stop before completing all 9 tabatas – we finished 8 though!  We snagged a picture and the lovely ladies helped me pack up all my equipment THEN it started to rain.  I think this workout was meant to happen!  🙂

Have a wonderful 4th of July weekend and be safe!  Love and hugs to you all ~ Peachtree
