OK, so you know how much I like quick, intense workouts by now, unless this is your first time reading this blog. : )

Anyway I put together another 4-minute fat loss workout.

I love this one. It consists of Bear Crawls and Walking Lunges.

Bear Crawls are one of the most challenging exercises around.

This will be a great workout because you’ll be working your abs, shoulder stability, your heart rate and your legs will really feel it.

The workout:

20 seconds of Bear Crawls
10 seconds of rest
20 seconds of Walking Lunges
10 seconds of rest
4 rounds of each.

Go ahead and try it out. I dare ya. ; )

Let me know what you think and how you did.

Also, tomorrow I’ll show you how you can make your own 4-minute workouts. It’s pretty cool.

Have an amazing day.

Kettlebell Swings for Fat Loss

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
