When intensity overcomes comfort, what happens to your mindset? Physical Education
Lake Washington High School physical education class, learning about Dr. Izumi Tabata, and the IE1 protocol (you can see the joy of learning in the expressions on their faces).
Dr. Tabata's research suggests that intervals of 20 seconds of max-effort work and 10 seconds of rest tax both the anaerobic and aerobic energy releasing systems almost maximally. That's a lot of bang for a few seconds of suck!
Shaving seconds
Down...
...But not out
Russell doesn't let pesky little things like a broken bone and an immobilizing cast slow him down much. He's speeding his recovery with good exercise while allowing his broken metatarsal to heal. And inspiring the rest of us in the process. Is that why he's called Russell the Muscle?
Rest! Work!
Work-rest management is a key component to athletic development.
High-repetition kettlebell lifting
Kettlebell sport involves high-rep, fixed-load weightlifting.
In a traditional kettlebell-sport event, three movements are contested. They are the one-arm snatch, the jerk, and the clean and jerk. The jerk and the clean and jerk are both done with one kettlebell in each hand.
All events are scored by total repetitions performed within ten minutes of work. Male athletes use a 32-kilogram kettlebell for all events and women use 16 kilograms.
