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!
