  • Relatively simple, easy start into my new workout regimen today. After sword practice, I did a quick 3×3 Tabata set (3 exercises @30s each, 3 cycles). One of the things I want to focus on is explosive combat movement, so I chose pop squats and alternating medicine ball lunge with torque as two of the exercises, then added some core with overhead medicine ball crunches.
