Alternating Double Tabata
Kettlebell (KB) swings
Sumo Deadlift High Pull (SDLHP)
Coach’s notes: Tabata intervals are 20 seconds of work, followed by 10 seconds of rest done for 8 intervals. For this workout you are doing 20s of KB swings, resting 10s, then doing 20s of SDLHP, followed by the 10s rest, continuing in this fashion until you have completed 8 sets of each exercise. Guys use 1.5 pood or 55lbs. for the KB swing and gals 1 pood or 35 lbs. If you do not have a kettlebell use a dumbbell at the same weight. For the SDLHP use the same kettlebell or dumbbell. Post total reps for each exercise to comments.
Rx’d – my first tabata…wow, was that work!! Anyway, total reps for db swings were 81 & for SDLHP were 81. Imagine that luck…maybe I should buy a lottery ticket today.
Keane totally kicked my butt in that workout. Look, he’s not even sweaty!
