This Week's Workouts 12/16 - 12/22/12

My apologies for not posting this sooner...the countdown to Christmas got the better of me!

For Tabata workouts, I found a Tabata Timer app for my phone that allows for programming the workout to meet my specific needs.  You can also just use a traditional timer and work for 20 seconds and rest for 10 seconds.
