Tabata-Trio: 3 Faves
Pick a trio exercise and perform a Tabata Interval workout.
(e.g. I will do air squats, SDHP and box jumps.)
Post workout note: I am going to give this trio its own name: Tabata Leg Jelly
Tabata Interval explanation from the awesomeness of www.crossfit.com:
"The Tabata interval is 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest for 8 intervals. Tabata score is the least number of reps performed in any of the eight intervals. Add the Tabata score for each of the exercises together to get the final score."

For more on Tabata Intervals, check out the Tabata articles at www.crossfit.com. A couple suggested articles are:
