Holiday Kettlebell Fat Burner Workouts

By Rui Rosario

The holidays are soon approaching along with cooler temperatures. This usually means many of us spending less time in the gym, and more time attending family holiday functions and work parties. This combination usually leads to over indulging in all the wrong foods, and packing on the pounds, then complaining about how much weight you’ve gained come New Year. Spending hours in the gym is completely unnecessary along with the lame excuses that you don’t have time. Through the use of some simple kettlebell and bodyweight exercises you can ‘burn the butter’ in just minutes. Simply pick a couple of exercises string them together in a circuit. Don't bother counting reps just go for time. If you only have ten minutes then pick two exercises perform each exercise for a minute than switch, going back to back for ten minutes. You will be pleasantly surprised how quickly you'll be huffing and puffing at the half way mark. Here’s some sample fat blasting routines that are brief and intense! Give it shot!
