Terrible Tuesday Tabata – March 20th 2016

Hello Everyone,

Just a reminder from the Tabata King himself!

6 TABATA RULES

To get the most out of your Tabata workout, follow these guidelines:

  1. Warm up for at least 10 minutes. That’s part of the original protocol.
  2. Use full-body exercises that engage as many muscle groups as possible.
  3. Exercises using bodyweight, a weighted vest, or free weights are all acceptable.
  4. Go full-tilt during the 20-second bursts. Seriously, don’t slow down.
  5. Try hard to find your breath during the 10-second rests. Good luck.
  6. Be prepared to sweat … a lot.

Now onto the workout!

  1. Modified Cockroach 45 sec – 

Starting with a jump, land and crawl as fast as possible forward for 8 paces. Stop, get up, and jump in the air, land and crawl backwards in a crab walk for 8 paces.

2. Push ups – 15 secs – 20 secs

3. Frog Jumps – 45 secs 

Drop into a squat with BOTH hands touching the ground, then jump in the air with the knees tucked up. Repeat quickly.

4. Lunges Backwards – 15-20 sec

5. Kick up Dance – 45 sec

In a Crab Walk position, staying in the same stop, alternate kicking up in the air with each foot as fast as possible. Repeat as many times as you can!

6. Hip Thrusts – 15-20 sec

In a Crab Walk Position, with your butt on the ground, lift your hips off the floor until you reach a straight table position, and repeat.

7. Finisher!!! Single Leg Burpee into Kick Throughts 1 min 30 secs!!!

<< COME ON YOU CAN MAKE IT>>

  • Start in the push-up position. Jump in with one leg, and then jump up, bringing the opposite knee toward the chest. Repeat on the other side. If this is too difficult, perform the burpees with both legs.
  • Start in a push-up position. Shift your body weight toward the right arm, and then kick to the left with the right leg. Alternate the movement on your left and right sides quickly.

Workout of the Week – March 20th 2016

Hello Everyone,

This time around, I am preparing a new workout plan for my new client and it’s almost ready, when it is I will be sharing it with you guys too.  He wants to get Strong without the need of weights which is challenging because it will be based on fluctuation of exercises as well as hitting your top rep max a lot.

Anyways, here is your overall workout this week. I have done it and it’s challenging if you increase your weight every set and push yourself always!

4 sets of 12-15 reps – Start with 15 reps and increase load to get to a final set of 12 reps!

  • Shoulder to Shoulder Press – Use only 1 DB
  • Shoulder to Shoulder Chin ups
  • DB Romanian Dead Lift
  • DB Squat to Press
  • Inverted Australian Row
  • Push up to Unilateral Superman
  • DB Lunges

 

Remember 1 min between sets (MAXIMUM) and do each exercise back to back without stopping!

Overall Strength is a challenging accomplishment but with these exercises per week, it shouldn’t be an issue! Good luck…

Lunch & Supper Chickpea Spinach Tofu Dish – March 20th 2016

Hey Everyone,

So I have been away for a week or so but I was up near Yorkton and I had a great meal in a nice restaurant last week and so I decided to try and copy it.  This was the closest I could find but I think it will still make your taste buds want more.

Ingredients:

 

Directions

  1. In a large wok or skillet heat oil over medium heat; saute onions until translucent. Stir in creamed corn and curry paste. Cook, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes. As you stir, add salt, pepper and garlic.
  2. Stir in garbanzo beans with the cauliflower and gently fold in tofu. Add spinach and cover. When spinach is tender, remove from heat and stir in basil.

Note: A quick delicious recipe with curry with spinach, chickpeas, onions, and/or whatever veggies you have. I have added cauliflower, but aren’t limited to adding in extras like potatoes, and sweet potatoes to this recipe. All were very good. Serve with nan, pita or rice if desired.

 

This close recipe like the one I had in the restaurant was provided by allrecipes.com and you can find more delicious ones on their website.
