Kettlebell Training The Hot New Fitness Tool

If I know one thing it is that kettlebell training will provide you with a cardio strength routine to help you to annihilate the calories and get your butt into shape quicker than just about anything else you could choose to do. This is why I have included the following 2 kettlebell exercises to give you a cardio workout plan to get you the results you want and to get it to you fast! Read and apply.

1. The Overhead Kettlebell Swing: This particular kettlebell lift is very exerting and will challenge your body in a much more intense way than the traditional swings that you normally do when you bring the bell to chest level. By having to increase the momentum of the bell during the swing in order to get it above your head you will quickly find out just how exerting this single modification can be with the swings. If you were looking for a great cardio workout plan then you just found it with this single lift. To execute the normal swing you must generate force to swing the kettlebell from between your legs up to chest level by initiating an action that is known as the hip snap. This particular action is performed by you having to forcefully flex and extend at both your hip and knees in order to generate that much needed momentum. The difference with doing this with the bell to chest level and doing it to get the bell overhead is profoundly more difficult. This is cardio that will get you light-headed and will get you those flat abs if you can handle the intensity.

2. The Kettlebell Long Cycle: This particular kettlebell exercise is one that gets my heart pounding more than just about anything else that I ever do. To perform this lift you will at least need the availability of a single bell of moderate intensity. This particular kettlebell cardio lift is a combination lift that consists of basically three movements that equate to a single repetition. With the long cycle you are basically going to be performing a single arm swing that transitions to a clean and rack, and ending with a push press (or jerk). With all three lifts you should seamlessly transition from one to the next without a break in your momentum. Make sure that when you start your swing to keep a tight arc with the bell at a tight angle close to your body. From here you will clean and rack the bell(s) and then finish with the jerk. Reverse the process entirely to set up and follow up with the next repetition. Make sure that every rep is performed without having to stop to place the bell(s) down until the desired number of the set is reached. This is one of the best cardio strength workouts you can possibly do.
