Yay…. it’s FIT FRIDAY!! 

Nicole is here with Pure Clean Fitness for another fun Fit Friday!!!  Who appreciates Nicole’s fit tips every week??  Cause I sure do!!

I know we have been talking about fall in the air for a bit, but this is really the first week that I have really felt it. The hoodie is staying on more and more throughout the day, the A/C has finally been tuned off, and the kids aren’t wearing shorts to school anymore. It also has meant the days are getting shorter, early mornings are dark and I am heading inside!

I have been loving Tabata lately. Fall gets a bit chaotic at my house and my brain starts turning to mush. Tabata becomes the perfect workout, I don’t have to count any reps and I only have to focus on a specific move for 20 seconds at a time. Bonus, I use music that tells me when to go and stop which means I really don’t have to be too focused.

Quick reminder; Tabata is 8 sets of 20 seconds work and 10 seconds of rest. After the 8 sets take a 1 minute break before moving to the next round of movements. I have found that my groups do best alternating two movements for each round.
