Day 2: Tabata Power
Just when you think you have a lot of power evenly distributed throughout your body, Shaun T reminds you with Tabata Power that just isn't the case. At least for me, that's what I experienced as I was grinding out through Day 2 of my journey.
Prior to getting going, I was telling my wife how I intend to trump my Day 1 Max Out Time (which I established as 5:51) and she said, "But it's only the second day." To which I replied, "Yeah, but if I get a little better each day, then by the end, hopefully I'll Max Out at 30 minutes." I added, "You don't think I can get to at least 5:55?"
And for a while there at the beginning of Tabata Power, it was a breeze for me. The warm-up was slightly toned down from the Cardio Challenge a day prior. Maybe I was getting stronger -- even in just a day. Now, while that might be true, it certainly wasn't why the warm up felt like such a breeze. Consider the Tabata Power warm-up the eye of a Category 5 hurricane.
Shaun T brings the gauntlet of moves in this workout, breaking it up into segments focusing on your entire body in waves. There's cardio, plyo, power, core and even a fun challenge at the end, which is where my Weep Time clocked in at 29:25. If not for that 60 full seconds of jump knee tucks to close out the workout, I may have survived the whole 30 minutes without begging for mercy.
Nonetheless, I got through the challenge and barely made it through the cool down before I fell to the floor in a puddle of my own sweat. Thank goodness for my greenberry Shakeology -- it does wonders providing the energy I need. I certainly needed it with this one. I'm another day closer to my goal! Next up: Day 3 - Sweat Intervals.
