I tried Tabata last Friday for the first time. Tabata is one excercise performed continuously for 20 seconds with a 10 second rest between rounds for a total of 4 minutes. I used two 8 kg bells and performed thrusters. To quote Dan John from his book, Never Let Go, "The tabata progam might be the single best fat-burning workout I know. It may be only four minutes, but I keep sweating and breathing hard for a long, long time afterwards." If you try it, make sure to keep track of your reps for the next time you try it. I achieved 51 reps in 4 minutes, next time I'll go for more....
About Me
- Fabiana O'Brien
- I am a 41 year old mother of four who is AFTA and Art of Strength (AOS) certified in kettlebell training. I began using Kettlebells in 2004, a year following the birth of my triplets. Once I picked up a "bell" I never looked back. I trained with Anthony Dilugio of Punch Gym in Providence, RI and attended his Art of Strength Essentials Course in the summer of 2007. This past April, I took my Kettlebell experience to a new level and attended a three day "Russian Kettlebell Challenge" in Minneapolis, MN. I met and trained with Pavel Tsatsouline and his army of Master and Senior RKCs. I achieved milestones such as 54 snatches with a 16kg bell and various gruelling workouts put together by the likes of Brad Nelson, Andrea DuKane and Doug Nepodal to name a few. I currently train clients at Gold's Gym in Ashland, MA. My goal is to get people to realize the power of Kettlebells and to change the way they look at "working out" forever.
