Tabata Kettlebell Swings

Score: 9, 26#

10-10-10-10-9-10-10-9

The “cash out” wasn’t really a “cash out” at all. It should have been called “WOD #2!” Boy was I tired after that one. I used a 26# kettle bell and my tabata score was 9. I got 10 reps on every round except for round 5 (9 1/2) and round 8 (9). Tabata is a form of interval training where for 20 seconds you do as many reps of X exercise (in this case, KB swings) as you can and then you rest 10 seconds. You repeat this cycle 8 times for a total of 4 minutes. Your score is the least number of reps within the 8 intervals.
I was proud of my performance through both of these WODs. I wished my tabata could have been 10 but those two rounds I just couldn’t get it. I also wished my 1 mile time could have been better. Nine minutes is ridiculous, but it’s a start.
