Fit, Fast and lean doing a kettlebell workout routine

By Chris Rivers


It's no real shock that all good gyms have them and every good instructor can't recommend them enough; kettlebell workouts are responsible for giving you the biggest cardio blast and all over body conditioning that will give you the strength of a Elephant, physique of an Olympian and cardiovascular fitness Jessica Ennis has to take note of; And moreover an impressive calorific burn of over 400+ calories in as few as 20 minutes.

Also kettlebell training is very simple to do and some of the most basic of exercises offer the most positive benefits available. Take for example the kettle bell swing; this fundamental exercise is one of the best fat burning solutions around today but is one of the easiest to actually perform.

Another great benefit of kettlebell workouts are the fact that you can get started at home safely and lose those love handles before you actually become a member of a gym. Many of us are overweight but often enough this affects our confidence and we put of joining our local health club as a result. But with KB's they give you the chance to start shedding the excess weight from the comfort of your own home whilst increasing your cardio fitness and confidence in the process; and they take up absolutely minimum space unlike conventional fitness equipment when it comes to storage.



But for me personally the most unique aspect of kettlebell workouts is that you are continuously moving with the kettle bell so you are always burning calories and increasing your fitness levels. So for example as a beginner routine you could swing for 30 seconds and then do active recovery of around body pass for 30 seconds; I understand that this may sound just too easy but it's one of my most highly rated beginners workouts being as it only consists of a couple of exercises and as you get fitter and stronger you can simply increase the speed of the swings until you can really go full speed. In fact this very workout is one I still do at least once a week when doing high intensity interval training because you just can't beat its effectiveness in the minimal amount of time.

So if you are still on the fence about using kettlebells to gain a whole new level of health it's time to jump down and grab that bell and swing yourself fit.
