Kettlebell Swings for Fat Loss1 Comment
Happy Monday!
One of my favorite exercises to perform for fat loss are kettlebell swings.
Kettlebells are great. They are a type of weight originating from Russia and look somewhat like a cannonball with a handle.
They are fantastic for developing strength, endurance, flexibility and balance and are great for overall fat loss.
If you want to strip away fat fast, get yourself a kettlebell.
One of my favorite exercises to do with a kettlebell is a swing.
Kettlebell swings are great for the hips, hamstrings, glutes, back, and abs.
In fact, I think they are one of the best abs exercises out there.
When doing a swing, you want to drive your hips back and let the kettlebell fall underneath you.
Explode up and drive your hips forward as you swing the kettlebell – you want to create momentum with the kettlebell.
Today I had a quick fat loss workout using a kettlebell and jump rope and it took less than 10 minutes.
Jump rope x 150 reps
35 lbs kettlebell swings x 25 reps
Rest until I caught my breath
Repeat for 3 rounds total.
This one definitely had me huffing and puffing.
If you are new to kettlebell swings, you may want to start with a 20 pound kettlebell and less reps.
I would love for you to try it and let me know what you think. Was it challenging for you? Were you breathing hard like I was? : )
Have an amazing day!
Scott
