** First time doing this style of a workout. I've done tabata a lot in the past but now I've put it more into a structure, doing 3 rounds basically of it. Once again following closely to fight rounds. The rest periods are currently 5 mins which are what the program I'm taking this type of workout does. As much as I want to drop the rest period to 1 min (like an actual fight) I don't know if they will work out well. Tabata is a very good workout and I think after a full 5 mins the body needs to rest enough to be able to put 100% back into the next round you know? I may try lower rest periods at another time. Really really tired tonight and waited a bit late so I wans't mentally all into this workout but I liked it anyway.

Future cardio will be a 30 min run with a few sprints, 20 min HIIT, and this 3 round tabata. Probably in that order too, building up through the week in intensity. But who knows, I listen to my body first and foremost. Another couple months of my current routine and I'll be starting training again specifically for MMA.
