Oof, I'm still feeling this from Monday morning!
Tabata Interval Workout
Do 20 seconds on/10 seconds recovery x 8 for four minutes of each exercise. (So do 8 sets of heels (20 on/10 off), then 8 sets of lunges, then 8 sets of dips, etc.) Do each complete round before taking any kind of significant break for water, etc.
Round 1:
quick heels or toe taps on a step
alternating lunges onto a step
dips
Russian twist holding a medicine ball
Round 2:
burpees
squats w/ body bar over shoulders
pushups
full roll-ups holding body bar overhead with arms extended
Round 3:
jump lunges
curtsey lunges
bicep curls w/ body bar
plank
Yeeeouch! The jump lunge + curtsey lunge combo is what did me in, I think. My legs are trashed! In a good way, of course. I love that feeling of "Oh yeah, I kicked ass in that workout." Pain is sort of a weird badge of honor.
I do feel badly for the three new people who decided to take their first boot camp class that morning. They must be cursing me!

Ouch is right
Haha, at least I didn't hurt my glute any further. Can you believe all that stuff doesn't bother my injury at all? The only thing I couldn't do was the quick heels. I had to do them in mid-air without tapping the step because the impact of touching the step even lightly was too painful.
It is amazing how hard that stuff is to do more than just a few of then in a row. Sometimes in fitness class the instructor tells us to do as many burpees as we can in 10 minutes. After about 30 seconds I have to rest!
