Kettlebell Fun pt 2.


This is a variation on a theme known as the Tabata protocol. A Japanese doctor of the same name formulated it. It involves a 4-minute block of exercise. The routine starts with 20 seconds of all-out work followed by 10 seconds rest; this is continued until 4 mins is reached. That makes 1 round of Tabata training with 8 sets of 20-second intervals.
Our friends the kettlebells provide a good routine following this method:2-hand swings for 20 seconds, 10 seconds rest
2-hand swings for 20 seconds, 10 seconds rest
Continue like this for 4 mins. Rest for 1 minute then repeat the protocol with snatches, alternating arms every 20-second interval. Rest for 1 min then repeat with cleans, again alternate arms.
This will take roughly 15 mins to complete but we’re not finished!!
End with a burpee pyramid from 1-8 then back down from 8-1!

Collapsing in a broken heap is optional!!!
