A fab, ‘quick fix’ workout!
Using Kettlebells can seriously change the shape of your body. A session with them can burn up to 800 calories an hour as long as you follow a healthy diet too.
What are Kettlebells?
Kettlebells are an ancient Russian training tool used by the 'Red Army' to condition the soldiers. They are a functional piece of training equipment resembling a cannon ball with a handle. They are traditionally made from an iron cast in various weight increments from 4kg up to 32kg.
This exercise can be performed with one or both arms. Place the Kettlebell between the legs with the feet outside, hip width apart, in a plié squat position. Start with the knees bent, chest up and arm(s) straight, keeping
elbows and wrists fixed. Using the legs, back, hips and core, pull the Kettlebell forwards up to head height, thrusting the hips and straightening the legs until the Kettlebell swings in a pendulum action to a ‘Superman’ position at the top and a semi squat position at the bottom of the swing.
Place two Kettlebells with handles at the 12 o’clock position then get into an elevated press up with the feet in a ridged plank starting position. Jump in with both feet, landing with heels down and knees bent between the Kettlebells. Now perform a Dead Lift to the upright position with the arms straight, chest up, shoulders back. Bending the knees, put the Kettlebells down and repeat.
FACT!
Studies have proven that a Kettlebell workout burns 3 times as many calories as a cardio workout and will reduce your body fat % by up to 1% a week in conjunction with a healthy balanced diet.
