Snow day workout for the next 3 days

So, in case you haven’t noticed, there has been a record snow fall in the here in the DC metro area over the past few days and the forecast says “Snow…lots of snow”. Again. But while all your friends seem to be posting status updates on Facebook about lounging on the couch under a blanket binge-watching TV, you are feeling like Jack Torrance in The Shining. Your car is buried under a foot of snow, it’s leg day, and your gym is closed.
So I put together a nice little workout for you do do right here in the house.  Before we move any further go to the Google Play Store and get an app called "Tabata Pro", you will be using that timer app for your workout.   I will not bother to post pictures of the exercises that you do not recognize the name, its 2016 just Google it.
