Extreme Kettlebell Cardio Workout
Many people believe that a cardio workout has to be in the form of running, cycling or swimming. But actually you can have a great workout using a kettlebell. The great thing about them is they can be used for so many exercises and they are not restricted to just one or two. An extreme kettlebell cardio workout can easily be done in your own home.
How Can It Be Cardio When You’re Lifting Weights?
Well, the great thing about kettlebells is you can perform several different exercises with them and they are more flexible than dumbbells. You’re not using them to build muscle, you are using them to have an intense workout that will burn lots of calories and that is why it is a cardio workout.
One of the most popular kettlebell workouts is the simple swing. You hold the kettlebell in both hands whilst standing upright and extend your arms so they are parallel with the ground. Then bend your legs and drop the kettlebell down between your legs. Then stand upright and swing the weight out in front of you again and straighten your arms. This is a complete swinging action and you’ll find it’s a fantastic calorie burner.
The way to make it really intense is to plan out a series of exercises and just go straight from one to the next. So, start and do 2 minutes on one exercise, then switch to the next for 2 minutes and so on. You continue this until your body really starts feeling the pressure. This cycle of various exercises is great at working out several muscle groups and also burning lots of calories.
If you can include an extreme kettlebell cardio workout into your weekly schedule, you’ll soon find out just how intense they are and why they work so well at shredding the fat and helping you lose weight.
