I used 12 kg for rounds 1 and 3 and 8 kg for rounds 2 and 4. The whole workout took about half an hour, and I felt it was a nice complement to the other workouts I've been doing since it was very core focused.

I'm feeling a bit ill today, though it's entirely my own fault. Dinner last night consisted of 3 glasses of champagne and a couple of crackers dabbed with creme fraiche and caviar.
