KettleBell HIIT: Not just for crossfitting


We've all seen kettle bells before, the look like cannon balls with handles. And as trendy as they've become (most spa gyms have a few now) they have actually been around for years. Thanks to things like cross-fit everyone started wanting to use kettle bells because they think it makes them look hardcore only to find out just how great they work. Combine that with some Tabata style 30 second on 10 second off circuits and you have a full blown fat burning workout in a few short minutes.
BEGINNER ROUTINE:

-5 Kettlebell Squats
-5 Push Ups
-5 Kettlebell Shoulder Press
-5 Push Ups
-5 Kettlebell Swings
-5 Kettlebell Rows
-5 Kettlebell Squats
-5 Burpees

INTERMEDIATE ROUTINE:

-8 Kettlebell Squats
-8 Push Ups
-8 Kettlebell Shoulder Press
-8 Push Ups
-8 Kettlebell Swings
-8 Kettlebell Rows
-8 Kettlebell Squats
-30 Seconds Jump Rope or Jumping Jacks

ADVANCED ROUTINE:

-10 Kettlebell Deadlifts
-10 Push Ups
-10 Kettlebell Push Press
-10 Push Ups
-10 Kettlebell Swings
-10 Kettlebell Rows
-10 Kettlebell Squats
-10 Kettlebell Front Squats
-10 Burpees
-30 Seconds Plank

If you can finish it all with no rest between exercises, use heavier weights the next round..Try to do as many rounds as possible in 10 minutes, keep track and try to beat it next time

The important thing is to be able, at any moment, to sacrifice what we are for what we can become.
