Whew...it's Tabata Time(tm) (not actually trademarked) (at least not by me, Peko Lux)

Ok! Tabatas are a way of doing exercises, either cardio or weights (anything really), in a specific timed manner in order to maximize intensity - essentially, you do 20 seconds of maximum intensity of your chosen exercise, and then rest for 10 seconds. That's one interval. You do a total of 8 intervals, for a total of just 4 measly minutes! It is incredibly hard, especially depending on the exercise...but I'm just getting back into working out here, so I'm doing one of the easiest things to Tabata...

I'm wearing a long-sleeve blue top and rainbow leopard print swim bottoms while I do one 4-minute round of the jumping jack Tabatas, and boy, even though these are the easiest ones, boy are they hard! Hehe ^_^ My booty bounces (of course) and I work up a little bit of a sweat - yay!
