The Tabata interval is 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest for eight intervals. For the L-sit and handstand hold, count the number of seconds maintained in the hold.

Post total reps/seconds/calories for each exercise to comments. Compare to 201105.

Scaling:
Reduce the load on the back squat to allow you to keep moving for the full 20 seconds. For the L-sit, find a variation with which you can perform at least a 20-second hold. For the ring rows, find a foot position that allows you to complete 10 consecutive reps. Moving the feet farther away will increase the difficulty. If you are unable to kick up to a handstand, select a modification that allows you to develop strength in an inverted position.
