Want a quick workout for today? It’s kind of confusing…so pay attention. It’s taken straight from Crossfit a few days ago – I don’t make this stuff up. Couldn’t if I tried.
Tabata This
Tabata Row*
Rest 1 minute
Tabata Squat
Rest 1 minute
Tabata Pull-up
Rest 1 minute
Tabata Push-up
Rest 1 minute
Tabata Sit-up
First of all: tabata means that you do 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest. For example, if you are doing tabata jumping jacks, you do jumping jacks for 20 seconds, then rest for 10 seconds, then jumping jacks for 20 seconds, then rest for 10 seconds…for eight rounds.
Following?
So in this workout, you tabata each of those exercise 8 times. Resting 1 minute in between.
I recommend this timer to help you keep track.
*Also if you don’t have a rowing machine (like I don’t have a rowing machine) just do this move instead. You’ll be sore tomorrow.
Or just roll around on the floor with a 20lb ball. Either one.

On a crossfit related note, I got an email from a reader this week (actually, the boyfriend of a reader) about The Z-Fund. You should go check it out. I know I’m going to get myself one of those shirts. My prayers go out to Zach and his family and friends!
Does Parker have a “BOX”?? If not, you guys should totally open one. I’m serious!
We would LOVE to…but there are a few in Parker, so we’ve kind of tabled that discussion…maybe it’s time to think about it again. That would be the most fun job ever.
I need to get into this whole cross fit thing! It sounds like fun (in a working out, feeling sore kind of way.)
Thanks for sharing all your workout ideas!
Already got my cardio in for the day, but just might have to do this in the evening. Thanks for the idea!
I agree with Lindsay, yall should have your own box. Your love of crossfit is infectious!
PS, the pictures of you are too cute… But baby A is even cuter
That picture of baby A is hilarious! She looks so scared for some reason.
And still so cute!
It’s those huge eyes…that’s her standard look!
You are pretty much the most bad-a## mom out there. PERIOD.
Second this!
Oh gosh…thanks!
That video was heartbreaking! I am going to be praying for Zach. It puts so much into perspective.
Once again I think I’m partial to Baby A’s workout
Also? I love the Superman Poster hanging on the wall. Is that a Meeker addition??
I am LOVING your haircut more and more every day friend!
Yes, the Superman is alll Meeker. And my hair is growing out so that I sort of look like Justin Bieber…I can’t quite figure out what to do with it.
I’d rather do baby A’s workout.
Baby A is in her gangsta pose. And Spiderwoman can learn a thing or two from you about hanging on equipment.
baby bean yes i want cake is ADORABLE
Thank you…I think so too.
Baby A makes my day. So ready to get involved with your workouts!
