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!
