Anyone ever do this?
I'm thinking of going to a class at lunch today.
Will it kill me?

Is that one of the positions of the kama sutra?

One of the boot camps I like does Tabata intervals. I may be misunderstanding how they use the phrase, but in the context of how we use it, it's just a phrase that indicates you'll be doing short bursts of very intense activity interspersed with rest. Some of them seem easy at first, but when you do 8 sets of them, they get pretty tough.
The Tabata is based on the research that shows that bursts of high intensity mixed in with short rests is a very effective way to not only burn calories, but gain strength. I like 'em.

Just noticed you mentioned going at lunch. If you're going back to work, make sure they have a shower. If you're doing it right, you're going to be sweaty. Really sweaty.

Too bad Doc wasn't still here he might have insight about it. Reading up on it, it seems like a great method for working out. I think you'll live

Are we not talking about Jose Tabata of the Pittsburgh Pirates? That's the only one I know. Go Buccos!

DH doesn't know how much insurance you have on yourself, right? My DH wasn't ever much to do projects around the house, but what work there was dried up completely when he realized how much life insurance I've got on him.
