3 of 9 Beginner Kettlebell Workout: 07/06/2012


Here is installment 3 of 9 of kettlebell training by Mbodystrength.com. We have all seen those balls with handles on them at the gym, but how many of us have actually used on? Well, hopefully you are starting to become a professional at using the kettlebell. The great thing about kettlebells is that you can turn any resistance training workout into a cardio workout, and if you do the workout with high intensity and minimal breaks you can burn more fat. Seriously, burn more fat. Why? High intensity training has been shown to increase exercise post oxygen consumption (EPOC) in study participants, and this rise in EPOC leads to larger amounts of fat burned after exercise. I hope that you enjoy this series of kettlebell workouts, because they are enjoyable, fun, and definitely a great way to burn the fat and build muscle. This workout series is brought to you by Marcus Martinez from Mbodystrength.com and each week, for the next four weeks, I will cover all 9 of his installments for this workout plan.
