Good workout but not tabata.

The point of tabata is do the same full body exercise for all 8 rounds to progressivly fatigue the same body parts - so swings, thrusters, sprints, are good. If done correct even fit people should struggle to finish the 4 minutes!

[animejoao]

how many rounds of tabata should you do in a single workout.

thanks.

@richiegunz This guy's obviously in decent shape... Typical YouTube douche... Go stuff you're face with another microwave burrito and post more bullshit.

[drawdef]

where did you get the timer/ voice command?

[richiegunz]

you're a kook....if you did one exercise correctly in that ridiculous cycle I didn't see it...typical firefighter.....go make some lasagna and go back to sleep

[jamestm86]

I couldn't do a workout while listening to that douche bag in the background haha

[BigJavs]

where do you get the voice timer?

[ryanyomomma]

you completed a death-ercise! That is awesome though...I didn't think of using kettlebells with tabata. Did you do anything else after (besides a cool down)?

[pezza2000]
