    This is a great system. I am starting week three this evening and just love the feeling if improvement. If I can make it past any kind of power jump without maxing out I will be happy.
    Does anyone have any tips on how to input this into MFP calorie usage? I have been using the circuit training option but unsure if that is accurate.

    using a HRM with a chest strap is really the best way

    I agree with what Matt said above about using a HRM. While they are not totally accurate. They are more accurate than the amount that MFP gives. I created my own exercise for my Max 30 workouts and put in the amount of calories that my Polar FT 7 said that I burned.

    Just finished up Friday Fight, that one seriously kicks my butt! So week 2 is done. Weigh in and measurements tomorrow, I'm anxious. I can feel myself getting stronger already, being able to do more and more each day.

    You guys are all doing so awesome, keep up the great work and keep kicking butt! Happy Friday :)

    Thank you Eileen and Matt. I am already researching the best HRM. Looking forward to Tabata Strength today for the first time; I was just getting used to the routine with Tabata Power.

    Well, W3D2 Tabata Strength is done. Forgot that this was a different workout from the previous two weeks, and was totally thrown off by the diamond jumps. My max out time almost three minutes under what it was for Tabata Power. Ugh.

    Week 2 Tabata Power, Maxed 6:12, but I pushed hard through the rest of it! I am getting stronger, better stamina in my indoor soccer games and more energy. I LOVE this program so far.

    W2D1 maxed out at 14:22. Super pleased with myself, as it is an improvement from last week. Feet still not feeling great, so will be on modifier version only until I feel better.

    I'd rather go slower than have to sit out if i injure myself further.

    My weight has not moved much though, I'm guessing my diet is still quite bad.

    Was wondering where you were yesterday, glad you are still here! Interested to hear what you think about Tabata Strength, it's pretty different from Tabata Power.

    I was really bummed to miss it yesterday, I was looking forward to a new workout. I've been fighting some breathing problems after having bronchitis and ended up back at the dr yesterday and was there all afternoon. By the time I was done with all the tests and they poked at me all afternoon I had nothing left in me to get my workout done. I'm looking forward to getting this one done though and see what it's like!

    Thank you :) Getting a little better each day.

    Finished Tabata Strength today. My plan was to get up a little earlier and do todays workout as well as Tuesdays that I missed. I quickly realized there was no way that was going to happen. I don't know how I'm even using my arms right now! This one will definitely get that upper body going. Those cross push up things where you put your leg through to the other side, yea I don't know that I'll ever do those unmodified. I think I'll be feeling that one later! One day closer to the end of week 3 though, bring on Friday Fight :)

    W3D4 Tabata Strength done. Improved my max out time by just a small amount. Those diamond jump burpees are killer!
