August Challenge Tabata Interval Marshfield Fitness

This month’s studio August Challenge can be replicated at your own home!

To date, Lisa and Bill Altieri, Katie O’Hara, Adrian Ravenscroft, Lynne Merrick, Diane McDonald, Jenn Fiorentino, Nicole McHugh, Emily and Will have each completed it. Next week the remaining family will have a chance at it!

All Tabata rounds:
20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest x 8 rounds for 4 minutes total

Each set you have to reach the number of reps depicted below to be considered accomplished in this challenge.
