Exercise Video: Kettlebell Fat Burning Workout Explained
In yesterday's post we went over how popular these old school pieces of equipment are getting and what their benefits are.
Today, I want to get right into how you can put these simple kettlebells exercises to good use to burn fat and shape up.
The exercises demonstrated in this video are just the tip of the iceberg, but will get you started and on your way to burning fat with these fun new movements.
Here's how the workout looks in action:
1A. Kettlebell swings x 15 reps
1B. Kettlebell 1 arm snatches x 10 on each side
1C. Kettlebell front squats x 15

Thanks for your comments (although correct observations they may be a bit overexaggerated...).
Sarah, had never used a kettlebell before and like everyone who is just starting out she was just learning.
No ones form is perfect their first time and I was happy to see that she was willing to give this exercise a shot. I can tell you her form is much improved now and we'll be bringing you more kettlebell videos soon!

Almost forgot- if she's in such good shape, she should really be using a higher kettlebell weight. I am nowhere near her fitness level and I *started* my kettlebell experience with a 12k 'bell.

*points up to RKC Instructor* What he said. The way I've been taught (by a senior RKC instructor), her swing is too high (should be chest-level); she's gonna blow out her elbow or rotator cuff because her snatch/press isn't vertical; and her wrists aren't straight in her squats.
REALLY disappointed in this video.

You should be ashamed of yourself for posting such an incorrect squat. You're doing a diservice to the exercise specifically and to kettlebell training overall. Go back to the drawing board.
