Tabata Intervals

Tabata Interval Kettlebell Workout Equipment I Used: 10-lb kettlebell 15-lb kettlebell 20-lb kettlebell 25-lb kettlebell 35-lb kettlebell Exercise mat Gymboss Interval Timer You’ll do each of the following exercises for 4 minutes before moving on to the next one. For those 4 minutes, set your  Gymboss Interval Timer  for 8 rounds of 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest (tabata intervals). I’ve noted in the descriptions how much weight I used for each exercise, but you should adjust this to fit your current fitness level. The whole workout will take 32 minutes. Kettlebell Swings:  Start with kettlebell down between your legs and, using your arms as a pendulum, swing the bell to slightly above eye level by thrusting with your hips while keeping your core tight as you stand up straight. Swing back down and repeat. I used a  25-lb bell. High Pulls (alternating arms each interval):  Start with feet hip-width apart with kettlebell on the floor in front of you. I use
