Burn calories with kettlebell circuits

By Matt Whitmore on 29 Jul 2011 No comments

Hey Ladies,

Hope you had a great week.

Over the last couple of weeks I have shown you just a few of the many kettlebells moves there are out there. As I have said before kettlebell training is a great way to fast track your fat burning potential due to the compound nature of the moves. You use more muscle fibres to perform the exercises therefore you will have a greater calorie burn in half the time.

This week I want you to have a bit more practice with what has been covered so far. Below is a circuit based on the exercises from the last two weeks with a few others thrown in. Perform each exercise back to back for 15 reps each, rest 60secs and repeat the circuit three times. Aim to do this 2-3 times per week. Remember always warm up beforehand and cool down and stretch afterwards.

Deadlifts

Tempo squats

Swings

Press ups

Goblet squats

Sit ups

Alternating lunges (15oneach leg)

Plank (30-60secs)

This is a great full body workout which should be completed in about 20 mins. Your heart will be pounding, your muscles will be burning, but you can be safe in the knowledge that your are burning a shed load of calories and fine tuning your body in to a fat burning machine. As always the best bit here is that it's done in under half an hour.

Give it a go and let me know how you get on,

Matt
