For anyone who is unaware - Dr. Tabata was a very evil man who came up with a purely sado-masochistic way of doing things....it sounds all good - pure and innocent. 20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest, for 8 rounds. In reality it's not too bad the first couple of rounds....by the 6th......not so good...by the last, nothing but misery. Then combine that with kettleball fun...OY VAY! MAMMA-MIA!!
Here's the full thing - I didn't do full weigh - I just used 12 kg (aka 25 lbs) kettleballs
Tabata Intervals (20 seconds work/10 seconds rest repeated 8 times) applied in turn to:
- Front squat (with 2 kb in each hand)
- Double clean-and-jerk (again - 1 kb in each hand)
- Alternating floor press (still with that 1 freakin' KB in each hand)
- Alternating rows (Criminy, will this never end - 1 KB in each hand)
- Two-handed swings (AH!! finally a mere one!!)
with a one-minute rotation break between exercises.
Lowest count per round is the one that counts...I got 5/4/7/7/10 - I think that's what it was........either way - I got that then collapsed, cursing the evil Dr. Tabata under my breath the whole way!
What a welcome back from a coupla days off!! JINKIES!!
