2 24 2010 Tabata split squats & air squats morning intervals


Two rounds of Tabata intervals this morning. First round - eight sets of split squats, notice the heart rate spent most of the time in Zone 4 (Lactate Threshold) during the split squats, while the heart rate spent most of the time in Zone 5 (VO2 Max) during the second round of regular air squats. The rise in pulse during the second round could be attributed to the cumulative effect of the intervals. Although, the regular air squats are much harder and taxing, I was able to accomplish 200 air squats for four minutes and 160 split squats for four minutes, with three minutes rest between rounds.
