Ultimate Tabatas Boot Camp Interval Training Workout Music

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Running a business can be very stressful and very busy.  As a fitness professional running my own business, there is no excuse for not exercising, so there has to be a compromise sometimes.  When I’m very short on time and am not willing to take the time and put in a ton of thought with what my workout will be, I throw in a Workout Muse interval workout music soundtrack and set up stations around my studio, in my backyard, or at home and blast through a workout in 20 minutes or less.

In fact, here is some footage of a workout I did today.  I used a 20/10 tabata interval training music soundtrack from Ultimate Tabatas; 20 seconds of work 10 second rest for 20 minutes.  As you will see in the video, I moved from station to station during each 1-minute rest period.  I love the rock track and use it the most for my workouts.

Here is the exercises I performed:

Flat Abs Interval Workout Music

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Today’s post is all about upgrading your core workout.

I’ve put together a really unique flat abs workout using the 20-10 Ultimate Tabatas Interval Training Music powered by Workout Muse- Coming Soon and set to launch this Tuesday, July 28th!!!

Ultimate Tabatas 7-20

The first exercise helps engage and strengthen key shoulder stabilizer muscles that are often dormant in addition to really taxing the whole front side of your body.

The second exercise requires intense dynamic stabilization by having you perform a jumping jack type movement while trying to keep your hips and shoulder as square to the floor as possible in a front pillar position.

Not to mention the fact that we’re performing both of these exercises on stability discs- unstable surfaces always require greater muscle activation and if you don’t have stability discs, sofa pillows work as a nice cost-effective alternative.

The Upgrade Your Core Workout

1- Unstable Scap Push-ups @ 20 second on, 10 seconds off

2- Unstable Pillar Jacks @ 20 second on, 10 seconds off

Repeat this superset 4x for 4 total minutes

The 20-10 Orchestral interval workout music soundtrack from Ultimate Tabatas is one of my favorites. There is just something about orchestral music that hypes you up and amplifies the intensity of your training sessions.

Crank it!
