You perform 20 seconds of each exercise followed by 10 seconds rest.  In this circuit you complete 2 rounds in 4 minutes. I know you are thinking 4 minutes “piece of cake!” Butttt if you are working hard you should be SPENT when your 4 minute timer goes off… and if you aren’t  you should complete another circuit. Tabata’s are great cardiovascular training and you can finish your workout in no time.

QUICK FEET (using the stairs)

I love Tabata’s and there are so many different variations that you can create! They get your heart pumping in a short amount of time. So we were definitely huffing and puffing at the end of them.

Ava had her own fun on the swing with Grandpa while we worked out.

Saturday afternoon flew by as we got ready for the wedding we had Saturday night at the beautiful Black Rock Yacht Club. It was such a perfect day for a wedding on the water, it was beautiful!

We had a lovely time catching up with friends and enjoying the weather outside during cocktail hour.

After getting to bed around 12:30 it was so hard to get going when Miss Ava decided to wake up at 5am.. I’m not going to lie, I wasn’t happy! When I finally woke up I was okay… but I was dragging at some points during the day. After breakfast we took a nice long walk with Cooper and I attended another Barre class at Pure Barre in the afternoon. Man my butt was on fire, and when I left the class my legs were yelling at me as I slowly stepped down each of the stairs in my house haha.

Well now it is Monday and we are back to work, I’m sure it will be an early night for me especially having taught 2 classes already this morning! I hope you all had a great weekend.
