Due to work going late for some, and business travel for others, it was just Jamie again tonight! I told him he just liked the 1:1 attention, and that he told the others not to come in, but he denied it.
Tonight we stayed away from a “barbell strength” movement since the focus for the first half of class was going to be, simply put, “core strength”. Jamie knew right up front that he would be performing 2 mini-workouts this evening.
The first was a 2-rounder, where he had to “accumulate” time in certain positions before moving onto the next part of the workout. After he finished this and had a few minutes rest, I introduced him to another CrossFit favorite: Tabatas!
He’s had a pretty fun two days, huh?

That row has gotta be a killer after those back extension holds.
Is the calorie goal so it’s more trackable? I have noticed that wattage is also a popular measure…
Joe,
I’ve also seen wattage used in some instances. In my opinion, with workouts like these (Tabata Intervals, specifically) maintaining a consistent calorie count (or meters covered) tends to be the most effective way to break down exactly what you’re going for in the next 20 second interval, even when you’re in that hypoxic state!
