A smile like this on Anastasia's face could mean one of two things... a) she hasn't started her workout yet, or b) she just finished and is glad it's over. Judging from the fact that she's still standing up and not lying on the floor in the fetal position in a pile of sweat, I'd have to go with option a).

What does "tabata" mean?

Tabata is name of a fella in Japan. Seriously.

Tabata training came from the work of Dr. Izumi Tabata who found a way to improve both aerobic and anaerobic pathways by excercising for sets consisting of 20 seconds of as many reps as you can and rest for 10 seconds. Repeat 7 times.

Asim, you're exactly correct... just to be clear - you do 20 seconds of FULL OUT 100% intensity work, followed by 10 seconds of rest a TOTAL of 8 times. Your score is the one in which you do the least number of reps.

Tabata is a sadist and a genius. I love him and I also want him whacked.

Actually, this was right after Erin! The tell-tell sign is that nice magenta tint on my face

Tabata is the bane of my existence. Seeing the word makes me want to curl up under my desk with a bottle of Jameson.

Smiling after finishing "Erin"? Nice, Anastasia!
