Simple, Not Easy

Simple, but not easy, is one way to describe this workout.
Don’t skimp out on the warm-up. It’s going to be worth it to get extra warm before today.
Pushups – knees, toes, elevated – no matter which version, you’re going to have to break them up. Do it well before you reach failure. And get ready for the 2nd round 🙂
Front Squats – The Tabata is 20 sec on, 10 sec off, for 8 rounds. Use any weight that you can maintain 20 seconds of work with. Really, the workout will be hard even without weight.
Your score is both time to complete and the reps of the front squats.
Hit me up with any questions you may have.

    Had to think on how to run my timer and tabata apps simultaneously but it worked great. I recorded a video of my workout in case it did not 😛

    1. Detailed summary:
      Pushups I did for the 1st set 20-5-5-then 2’s and singles to finish. Took about 2 minutes
      Tabata was all 8’s. I could in some have done 9’s but the transition to pick up the DB’s was a factor. You don’t get a real 10 sec rest 😛
      2nd set 10-5-5-then 2’s and singles to the end. Took about 3 minutes
