Weekly post: What did you do?

You know the drill! And wish me luck: I hope to get clearance at my Monday appointment to resume my own work.

Tabata sprints (omg rydra_wong these are insane)

I knooooow. I wanna do some more (as soon as the weather stops being stupidly hot).

Btw, you may have already solved this problem, but I discovered that to help with timing yourself, there are various free Tabata mp3s floating around on the intrawebs.

I've got one that alternates 20 seconds music (frenetic techno), 10 seconds silence, etc., until you are dead finished.

Oh man I didn't even think of that - I've been doing them with a stopwatch in hand. I gotta check those out, thanks!

Ah, located:

This is the one I've been using, but Googling "tabata mp3" will find you lots more (using various strategies -- some have a tone cue over continuous music for start/stop, etc.). It's also apparently pretty easy to mix your own in Audacity.
