Tabata Rounds

Today I wanted to try another workout.  After searching around on the internet, and not finding anything I could wanted to do at home (felt kinda lazy about driving to the gym).  I wanted something that would get my heart rate up fast but not use a lot of weight or moves that I am not 100% sure how to do.  Some of the exercises seemed too complicated while others seemed like I would just get hurt doing them.  So....I decided to combine some different Tabata workouts for a quick, heart-pumping workout.  Here it is:




Warm Up:  10 minutes running


Tabata (20 seconds on and 10 seconds rest for each exercise)


Set 1:
High Knees (or Stationary Run)
Mountain Climbers


Repeat 3 more times for a total of 4 minutes.


Rest for 1 minute.



Set 2:
Seal Jacks
Plank Jacks


Repeat 3 more times for a total of 4 minutes.


Rest for 1 minute.



Set 3:
Skater Jumps
Plank to Push-up


Repeat 3 more times for a total of 4 minutes.


Rest for 1 minute.



Set 4:
Burpees
Mountain Climbers


Repeat 3 more times for a total of 4 minutes.


Rest for 1 minute.


Cool down:  5 minute Run/Walk/Jog 


My inspiration for this workout came from ThePostGame.  Check out this site for a video and great explanations for most of these workouts.  This workout left me feeling pretty tired and my heart rate was way up.  It was an effective 35 minute workout.
