I Don't Want Ta-bata You!

Tabata is a high intensity training program.  I have gotten the best workouts from this workout.  My clients love the results after (not the "pain" during).  The regimen is 20 seconds of activity followed by 10 seconds of rest for 8 rounds, a total of 4 minutes per exercise.  The reason this program works is because of "muscle confusion".  As soon as it's rest time, it's activity time and vice versa.  Try this and let me know what you think.

Chest:  Push Ups
Back:  Dumbbell Rows
Shoulders:  Overhead Press
