Tonight's workout included one thirteen year old boy going hard at his little brother's new punching bag, and one completely unnaturally pleased 11 year old girl who was just so happy to be awake and included...

TABATAs - this time to my favourite tabata mixes :)

rows

pushups

situps

squats

Tabatas, in case i haven't explained before, involve short, concentrated bursts of exercise.

We have four "mixes" that are each four minutes long - each consist of one slow song and one fast song, with intervals of twenty seconds fast, ten seconds slow music.  When the music is slow, we rest for those ten seconds, and when the fast music comes back on, we work hard for twenty seconds - tonight we did a circuit, so switched exercises every time, but a lot of times we'll do one exercise four times in a row, and only switch with each new song...

Anyway, i worked hard, but apparently we need to put a weight vest on Haven :)...   "That wasn't so bad!" she assures me...
