    Workout of the week: 12-min kettlebell Tabata workout

    6th February 2023
    kettlebell Tabata workout 

    ALL LEVELS / kettlebell Tabata workout / 12 minutes

    Equipment: Kettlebell

    Kettlebells are fantastic, aren’t they? Believe it or not, they date back to 18th-century Russia, and since then paved their way to be an instrumental part of every gym equipment. Sold out during the pandemic, they even made their way to become a type of sport. And what’s not to like? Small and portable, kettlebells allow you to exercise your whole body in a fun way. 

    This kettlebell Tabata workout proves that. Tabata is a type of HIIT (short for High-Intensity Interval Training) workout consisting of 20 seconds of flat-out exercise at maximum intensity with 10 seconds of rest. You’ll do so for 3 exercises, during 8 rounds non-stop. That will take you around 12 minutes to complete.

    1. Kettlebell deadlift
    2. Kettlebell swing
    3. Kettlebell squat

    Ready? Let’s go!
