20 Minute Kettle Bell Training Session That Will Completely Melt Body Fat

Kettlebell training is an ancient Russian technique that has been used for training Olympians, soldiers and many different athletes. Here in the United States the Kettle bell is quickly becoming a very popular training tool, but this one should not lose steam like many of the fitness "fads" of the past.

Kettlebell training is an incredible workout because the using the bell requires all major (and minor) muscle groups to engage and fire rapidly. Movements require a dynamic hip snap, recruitment of all core muscles (the core includes hamstrings, glutes, lower back, abdominals, obliques, quadriceps and several other small movers). Here are the main reasons why kettle bell training is effective for optimal and rapid fat loss.

1. Kettle bell training uses all major muscles in the body
2. Training with kettle bells provides a dynamic action that requires and builds extreme core strength
3. Kettle bell training elevates the heart rate and engages more muscles that typical cardio training
4. Using all major muscles as well as pumping up the heart rate equals a higher caloric output
5. Training with kettle bells elevates the metabolism and this metabolic and strength style of training will burn fat up to 9 times faster than typical cardio or strength training

Here is a kettle bell training workout that will take you no longer than 20 minutes. This workout is a full body training session and will pump your heart rate up and leave you dripping in sweat in the conclusion.

You will complete five exercises in this circuit. Perform each exercise for 50 seconds, switching halfway through on the single side movements. Rest for 10 seconds between kettle bell moves exercises and also rest 10 seconds between sets. The short rest time creates an efficient and heart pumping training session.
