Kettlebell Workouts: The “Secret Strategy” For Burning Gobs Of Fat

Kettlebell workouts are among the most popular workouts in the US for burning fat right now.

But did you know that many, if not most people fail to see the success they desire?

It’s true and it’s all because they don’t know this “Secret Strategy” in their kettlebell workouts.

But before I reveal what this “secret strategy” is, let’s look at some common mistakes that keep people who are doing kettlebell workouts from losing fat.

Mistake #1: Using the kettlebell like a dumbbell.

This is the dumbest mistake going. It shows that there is a fundamental lack of understanding of how to use the kettlebell and it’s benefits. Why not just use the dumbbell? Seriously.

Why Not Just Use Dumbbells...?

Mistake #2: Using “traditional” set and rep schemes.

By traditional set and rep schemes, I mean 2×12, 3×15 – schemes like that. The truth is, the very nature of some of the kettlebell exercises, such as the Swing, Clean, and Snatch, allows you to do A TON more work than that. And that’s one of the keys to making progress – more work.

Mistake #3: Using the wrong sized kettlebell.

Nothing drives me crazier than seeing “Smiling Suzie Spandex” on TV holding her 4 pound kettlebell and twirling it around her head. I mean, why bother?

Here’s the the Truth: Properly designed kettlebell workouts allow you to use kettlebells that are heavier than you imagined you could use.

It is not uncommon for women to start with 18lbs and work up to routinely using 35lbs plus! (I actually have a female client who routinely uses 35lbs – 53lbs for ALL of her kettlebell exercises – and she still retains her femininity!)

ATTENTION WOMEN:

This is a VERY IMPORTANT concept for you, as a woman to grasp. See, you’ve been indoctrinated – LIED TO – that you need to work out completely differently from a man – that you need to use lighter weights in order to prevent you from becoming “big and bulky.”*

If you only take one thing away from this article – I want it to be this: That is a Damnable Lie!

And worse yet, it’s been perpetuated on you by hucksters and scam artists that just want your money!

Here’s More Truth: You need to be strong in order to burn calories. The stronger you are, the more calories you can burn because you can do more work, and the more fat you can lose.

And properly designed kettlebell workouts for women will give you the fat loss and body you’re looking for.

Alright, enough of the most common mistakes people make with their kettlebell workouts and enough ranting – let’s get on to the “secret strategy.”

Here it is:

To burn as much fat as possible, do as much work as possible during your kettlebell workouts in as short a time frame as possible.

Let’s break it down.

    1. In order to do as much work as possible, you must have great technique with your kettlebell exercises. This means you have to have practiced the basics.

 

    1. In order to do as much work as possible, you must select the correct exercises – the ones that allow you to do a ton of work per unit of time. Examples are the kettlebell Swing and the kettlebell Snatch.

 

    1. In order to do as much work as possible, you must use the appropriate sized kettlebell – one that’s “just right” – not too light an not too heavy. This is one that will allow you to perform at least 30 seconds of work per set.

 

    1. In order to do as much work as possible, your kettlebell workouts must have a definitive duration. They don’t necessarily have to be long – 20-30 minutes will work, but they must have a pre-determined start and finish time.

 

  1. And finally, the Top Tactic to use in this Secret Strategy for fat loss is the Interval Method, during your definitive duration. Select specified work periods, like 30 seconds and alternate them with specific rest periods, say, 30 seconds. Do this for your specified time period.

For example, 2 hand Swings for 20 minutes – doing as many Swings as possible in 30 seconds and resting for 30 seconds. (Don’t overlook that – I just gave you one of the very best fat burning kettlebell workouts!)

So there you have it – not only do you have the “Secret Strategy” for burning gobs of fat with your kettlebell workouts, but also one of the Top Tactics as well.

Why The Kettlebell Is The BEST Tool Available For Rapid Fat Loss

The kettlebell is becoming a very popular tool for fat loss both in homes and gyms all around the country.

And for very good reason – the kettlebell is arguably the best tool for rapid fat loss.

Yup – I know what you’re thinking – that just can’t be possible.

“A kettlebell is just a cannonball with a handle on it – how can that help me rapidly strip away my unwanted body fat?”

Here are the top 3 reasons your kettlebell will help you peel off that nasty ol’ muffin top.

1. The Kettlebell Is Convenient.

You know what one of the determining factors is for you rapidly getting rid of your unwanted body fat?

Convenience.

Let’s face it, after a long, tough day at the office putting up with your boss’s nonsense, 9 times out of 10 you just don’t have the energy to drive to the gym and do one of those long, drawn out workouts – you know the ones I mean – 45 minutes of weight training followed by 30-45 minutes of cardio. Then you’ve gotta slug home and find the energy to make something healthy to eat.

Heck, you know it and I know it – it’s much easier to hit the drive-thu on the way home and pick up something for you and the family than it is to go home and make something. So you end up eating a bunch of convenient junk and sabotage the workout you just did.

The kettlebell is the solution to your problem. You can use it from the convenience of your home in as little as 10 minutes a day. You read that correctly – 10 minutes a day.

You see, the kettlebell is portable which means you can use it anywhere – your basement, your living room, your bedroom, in your backyard – anywhere. And kettlebell exercises are so easy to do that you don’t need a lot of space – you can do most of them just standing still.

In fact, a properly designed kettlebell workout will allow you to work out in the comfort of your own home in as little as a 6×4 foot square space!

So not only are kettlebell workouts convenient, they’re time and space efficient too!

2. The Kettlebell Helps You Remain Compliant.

Other than convenience and ease of use, compliance, or lack thereof, is one of the main reasons people fail to lose the weight they so desperately want to see come off. If an activity is too inconvenient, too time-consuming, or too difficult, the chances are you’re not going to stick with it.

And that’s the problem with most conventional weight loss workouts. But that’s not the case with properly designed kettlebell workouts – they’re convenient, time-efficient, and challenging and fun!

This means you can use your kettlebell from the comfort of your own home, performing kettlebell exercises that focus on all your “trouble areas” and still have plenty of time and energy left over to make and eat dinner with your family, have the energy to engage your spouse, and actually feel relaxed instead of exhausted at the end of the day.

So now you have set yourself up for success – you’re working out at home which is actually convenient for you, instead of someone else (i.e. going to someone else’s health club). Your new kettlebell workouts don’t eat into your family or personal time and are actually fun, which makes them that much easier to do and keep on doing.

3. The Kettlebell Is Cost-Effective.

According to a recent CNBC article, the average gym membership in 2008 cost between $40-$50 per month. Now consider that the fitness industry has a retention rate of 18%. This means that 82% of people who buy gym memberships stop using them but keep paying for them. This means that if you bought a gym membership in January there’s an 82% chance that you would not only stop using it, but, according to your membership contract, you’d still be paying, or in this case – wasting $40-$50 per month. That’s $480-$600 per year you could save!

That’s just a waste of money!

You can go to your local sporting goods store or shop online and get a kettlebell for around $40-$50 – the same cost of one month’s membership at your local health club (and save on the “initiation fee”).

Then you can put the extra savings toward something you love – perhaps a small weekend trip away for you and your spouse or significant other, or new (smaller) clothes, or, well, you know what you’d spend it on!

Here’s the bottom line -

Working out with your kettlebell at home saves you not only time, but also money.

Of course, there are plenty of other reasons why the kettlebell is the best tool for rapid fat loss, but all of those are irrelevant if you can see the practical points of using it – Convenience, compliance, and cost-effectiveness.

Is This REALLY The Best Kettlebell DVD For Beginners?

There seems to be a kettlebell DVD for just about everything these days – women, men, golf (yes, golf) and everything else. Mostly, however, the most popular kettlebell DVDs are focused on kettlebell workouts.

And that’s the problem.

Most people just want to get a great workout without ever focusing on the technique of each kettlebell exercise.

And that’s another major problem because that will lead to injury.

So that means that something’s missing. And that’s a kettlebell DVD for beginners.

So What’s The Best Kettlebell DVD For Beginners?

To date, just about everybody in the United States and the West who’s learned how to use kettlebells have been influenced by one man – the man responsible for the Russian Kettlebell Invasion that started in 2001 – Pavel Tsatsouline, the Evil Russian.

(No he’s not really “evil” but he is Russian.)

And he has created a kettlebell program and a kettlebell DVD for beginners called Enter the Kettlebell! It is the BEST kettlebell training program AND kettlebell workout for beginners.

In fact, you could just use the two kettlebell workouts / kettlebell programs in ETK for the rest of your life and get amazingly strong and superbly conditioned, lose a ton of body fat, and get in better and better shape each and every year for just about the rest of your life.

No kidding.

etk Is This REALLY The Best Kettlebell DVD For Beginners?In ETK, Pavel starts you by learning the two foundational kettlebell exercises – the kettlebell swing and the Turkish Get Up (called the Get Up).

The kettlebell swing strengthens your hips, legs, abs, upper back, and arms. Not only that, it is a powerful total-body conditioning exercise that will, if you’re interested, rip the fat off your body.

It forms the foundation for all the other ballistic kettlebell exercises like the clean and the snatch which you will learn later on to take your strength and conditioning levels to new heights.

The Get Up is a fantastic total body kettlebell exercise. If the kettlebell swing is ballistic (explosive and fast) the Get Up is the exact opposite – it is performed slowly and methodically. It’s great for strengthening worn out, busted shoulders (bench press anyone?) and for strengthening the legs one at a time. It’s also a phenomenal abdominal exercise as well.

Pavel shows you introductory exercises for each exercise and also corrective drills in case you struggle to perform them.

Finally, he wraps up this particular section with a very special, simple, and effective kettlebell workout program.

Once you’ve gotten the kettlebell swing and the Get Up down, Pavel then shows you how to perform more advanced kettlebell exercises – the clean, the press, and the snatch. (These three kettlebell exercises are based on the kettlebell swing and the Get Up – so make sure you have those two down before moving on to this section.)

powerbypavel1 Is This REALLY The Best Kettlebell DVD For Beginners?And again Pavel shows you how to perform each exercise, drills to help you polish your technique, and again exercises to help you correct your techniques if they are quite up to par.

You will also learn about the second kettlebell workout program in ETK. (It’s actually in the book which you can get here.) And like I mentioned earlier, it’s really the only kettlebell workout you ever really “need.” It is fully comprehensive and will work every single muscle in your body. Daily. And it will help you reach a level of fitness not only that you never even dreamed of, but weren’t even aware that it existed.

When you’re looking for the best kettlebell DVD for beginners, look no further than Enter the Kettlebell! from Pavel – the man who started the modern Russian kettlebell revolution.

Kettlebell DVD Workouts For REAL Men

What’s the deal with kettlebell DVD workouts for men? There aren’t a whole lot on the market that are really worth anything.

Why is that exactly?

It’s quite simple really – Real men don’t follow “work along” kettlebell DVDs (or any other DVD for that matter).

Sure, Real Men will watch a kettlebell DVD with specific workouts on it, but since most real men will workout with heavier, “non-wussified” kettlebells, it’s hard to follow along to pumping music and some sort of counting cadence. Sure, that’s great for lighter weights, ladies, and wussy-boys, but Real Men need to get strong and to do that they (you?) need heavier weights – heavier kettlebells.

So, are there any high quality kettlebell DVD workouts for men?

There sure are.

There are three that I can think of.

And before I tell you about them, let me tell you why they are acceptable kettlebell DVDs for men.

1. They emphasize the skill of strength using heavier kettlebells

2. They show you the technical breakdown of the kettlebell exercises so you can practice them and get stronger

3. They are by a very strong man and the originator of the Russian kettlebell invasion here in the West – Pavel Tsatsouline.

Beginner / Intermediate Kettlebell DVD Workouts For Men

Kettlebell workouts for men should be based on a foundation of one kettlebell. And they should be based on the two most fundamental and foundational kettlebell exercises – the kettlebell swing and the Turkish Get Up.

etk Kettlebell DVD Workouts For REAL MenThe best and easiest kettlebell workouts DVD for men is Pavel’s, Enter the Kettlebell – Strength Secret Of The Soviet Supermen. In it he shows you how to perform the best kettlebell exercises for making a man strong – both physically strong from a muscular and cardiovascular perspective, but emotionally strong through tough, but fun kettlebell workouts.

In Enter the Kettlebell, Pavel not only demonstrates each kettlebell exercise a man should know, but shows you common mistakes and corrections for those mistakes to help ensure you become more of a man than you currently are now.

In ETK, Pavel demonstrates the following kettlebell exercises: the swing, the Turkish Get Up, the clean, the press, and the snatch.

There are also two different kettlebell workouts in ETK, one for a rank beginner called “The Program Minimum,” and another meant as something for you to progress toward or for an intermediate kettlebell user already familiar with the basic kettlebell exercises, called “The Rite of Passage.” Both the PM and the ROP are designed to get you phenomenally strong and super-conditioned.

Not only that, you’ll be able to eat like a horse as well.

The RTK kettlebell workouts are based on the double kettlebell exercises, such as the double kettlebell snatch, the double kettlebell clean and jerk, the double kettlebell press, and the double kettlebell front squat.

And these kettlebell workouts are downright brutal and they will not only make you question your manhood but will elevate your conditioning to super-human levels. Imagine being able to do 150 reps of double kettlebell clean and jerks in one workout. Now imagine being able to do them with a pair of 70 pound kettlebells.

What Is The BEST Kettlebell Fitness Routine?

Want a rockin’ body from using a kettlebell fitness routine? Of course you do – otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this article.

So what’s the *very best* kettlebell fitness routine to help you do that?

Are you ready to be surprised?

Here’s my answer -

I don’t know.

Wait – before you groan in disappointment, let me explain quickly.

All of us want the same thing – to look great naked and to feel better about ourselves. But we all come from different backgrounds.

You may have better endurance than I do. I may have more strength than you do.

So doesn’t it make sense that we should probably be doing different kettlebell fitness routines?

Well, yeah – of course it does!

But it doesn’t mean we have to be doing completely different routines – they can, do, and should have some similarities.

Let’s take a closer look…

Common Things In Our Kettlebell Fitness Routines

1. Our kettlebell fitness routines should make us stronger.

Here’s what no one in the mainstream fitness industry will tell you – if you want to get leaner you must get stronger. That’s because getting stronger uses a ton of energy as you move heavier weights than you’re used to. It burns more calories than moving lighter weights. It also gives your body that “hard” look as opposed to the softer look you’re probably used to experiencing.

So, you need to incorporate kettlebell exercises for strength, such as the Get Up, the Press, and the Front Squat. Each of these kettlebell exercises uses all of the muscles in your body (especially your abs – cool huh?). That in turn uses a TON of energy.

And of course, depending on how you set up your strength workouts, you can actually put on a little bit of muscle, which gives your body shape.

2. Our kettlebell fitness routines should make us better conditioned.

The better conditioned you are, the better your health. The better your health, the more likely you’ll burn fat without having to worry about gaining any.

So our kettlebell fitness routines should incorporate kettlebell exercises such as the Swing, the Snatch, and the Clean – either with one kettlebell or two at a time.

Not only that, but by including these particular kettlebell exercises into our routines, we can burn a TON of stored calories – or body fat (yup – fat is nothing more than stored calories). And the more we use the Swing, the Snatch, and the Clean – and their variations, the more body fat we can burn off. Which means of course that we’ll lose weight which of course means that our clothes will fit better and we’ll look better in the mirror and then feel better about ourselves.

3. Our kettlebell fitness routines shouldn’t take much time – 45 minutes 3 days per week maximum.

Forget about what you might have read or done in the past – you don’t need to work out 1 to 2 hours a day six days per week. That’s truly insanity! Who’s got that sort of time? I know I don’t . So, you literally should only use a kettlebell fitness routine that take a little more than 2 hours per week – or roughly 45 minutes per day, 3 days per week.

That’s really all you need. Because if you work out hard enough – that is with the appropriate intensity – 45 minute kettlebell fitness routines will be more than enough.

What you do with the rest of the time you used to work out is completely up to you.

One *BEST* Kettlebell Fitness Routine?

Alright, so you can see that there really can be some similarities in our kettlebell fitness routines. We both need to be stronger. We both need to be better conditioned. We both need to spend our time doing other things than working out, right?

Of course.

So is there really One Kettlebell Fitness Routine that covers all those similarities?

Yes – there is. And it meets you at your current fitness levels and allows you to get stronger and better conditioned – and here’s the important part – at your own pace.

It’s called “Kettlebell Burn” and you can get by clicking the link below -

Click here to get “Kettlebell Burn” – a kettlebell fitness routine that will help you look better both in your clothes and in the mirror and takes less than 3 hours per week.

Kettlebell DVD Reviews – How To Find The Best Kettlebell DVD For You

Here are some honest kettlebell DVD reviews for you.

(DISCLAIMER: These reviews are all based on my personal knowledge of each DVD plus my personal relationships with the DVD’s creators – all of whom I have known for years and all of whom have the deep desire to help people excel physically.)

The kettlebell DVD – every trainer seems to have their own these days. Sometimes even two or three. But is their kettlebell DVD right for you?

Here’s how to know for sure.

You need to know what your goal is so you can match your goal to the right kettlebell DVD.
Do you want to lose fat? Just generally get in shape? Learn how to use kettlebells? Build muscle? Have someone lead you through a workout that you can do while watching?

Be as specific as you can with your goals because there are a ton of kettlebell DVDs on the market, each one of them as specific as your goals.

Also, make sure that the authors of the kettlebell DVDs you are interested in have a good reputation. Make sure they’re not just somebody ripping off another person’s ideas. For me personally, when I want to learn something of importance, I go straight to the source. Sure, sometimes I might pay a little more, but that’s OK because I know I’m getting great, high quality reliable information that will get me to my goals at a faster pace than the “el-cheapo” version.

The next important thing to know is which category of kettlebell training you fall into.

Are you a beginner, intermediate, or advanced kettlebell user?

And please don’t kid yourself about which one you fall into. If you do, you are really doing yourself a disservice. In fact, you could end up injuring yourself and ending your kettlebell training days permanently.

Let’s take a closer look…

 

1. Beginner.

The beginner is someone who has been using kettlebells for less than one year. You, my friend, will see marvelous results just focusing on the basics.

Beginner Kettlebell DVD Reviews

Here are several kettlebell DVDs for beginners.

etk Kettlebell DVD Reviews – How To Find The Best Kettlebell DVD For YouEnter the Kettlebell. This is the ultimate primer for kettlebell training. It takes you from beginner status all the way up to advanced status. It can literally be used for that long.

It’s chocked full of the basic kettlebell exercises, common mistakes, and corrections for those mistakes.

Pavel demonstrates the correct technique for the kettlebell swing, the Turkish Get Up, the kettlebell clean, the kettlebell press, and the kettlebell snatch.

If I were forced to choose only one kettlebell DVD, this would be it.

If you’ve ever been injured in a sport or while working out, this kettlebell DVD is right up your alley. I have used the information inside it and I arguably feel ten years younger (I’m a high mileage strength aficionado). It literally shows you how to take this one exercise, the Turkish Get Up, and rehabilitate and strengthen all your dinged up parts – shoulders, hips, knees, low back – everything.

resilient Kettlebell DVD Reviews – How To Find The Best Kettlebell DVD For YouResilient. This kettlebell DVD is one of Pavel’s best. In a similar vein as Kettlebells From The Ground Up, Resilient is a series of kettlebell and bodyweight exercises designed to take the high-mileage athlete and tune him or her back up again. The exercises Pavel demonstrates in this kettlebell DVD address all the areas that athletes and couch potatoes alike pick up chronic aches and dings – lower back, shoulders, hips, knees.

Each exercise in this DVD is designed to address one or two of those areas, like the RKC arm bar. This exercise shows you how to use a light kettlebell (Yes, Bubba, there actually are uses for a light kettlebell – who knew?)

It’s well worth owning and if you follow it as outlined, you’ll see noticeable improvements for sure.

This literally takes the Turkish Get Up to a whole new level of difficulty. It helps you assess, identify, and correct any major (but not operable) weaknesses you may have or may have and didn’t know about.

It must be experienced to be believed. But in my estimation, this product is well worth the money and time invested in it.

It is also our first real introduction to the powerful double kettlebell exercises like the Double Kettlebell Front Squat and the Double Kettlebell Clean (and Press).

It is a masterful blend of single kettlebell, double kettlebell, and kettlebell flexibility exercises.

Andrea takes you through a thorough warm up before each workout (yes, more than one workout to choose from – six in fact – which makes this a “must-have” DVD for women working out with kettlebells) and Nicole and Kristann demonstrate the exercises from different views. You can also pick from upper body, lower body, core, or cardio for whatever area you want to workout on any particular day.

In it, Pavel, and Master Kettlebell Instructor, Kenneth Jay, show you much more in depth than in More Russian Kettlebell Challenges how to perform the double kettlebell exercise, including the Clean, Front Squat, Press, Clean and Jerk, and Snatch (that’s right, the Double Snatch!) He also reveals some novelty snatches that can be done with light kettlebells that will make your shoulders swell up like grapefruits.

The focus of this whole program is how to build a powerfully strong and muscular body with the double kettlebell exercises. And Pavel doesn’t fail to deliver a program that yields maximum results.

Don’t worry if you can’t do some of the exercises, Pavel shows you corrections for each one and they’ll have you up and running in no time.

Return of the Kettlebell is focused solely at those individuals wanting to pack on mass, so it’s primarily for men, but women can benefit from it to. And it does a phenomenal job of doing so. Pavel lays out two distinctly different but effective mechanisms for packing on mass quickly. Both are challenging and fun. But beware! You’ll have to eat a lot with these kettlebell workouts!

If you pick up this DVD, you’ll absolutely want to get the companion book that goes along with it that actually details the RTK program.

Kettlebell DVD rating: 4 out of 5.

There are of course many more kettlebell DVDs on the market today than just these. However, I personally feel that these are some of the best. And as such, I wanted my kettlebell DVD reviews to be based only on the programs I am familiar with.

Hopefully you’ve found these kettlebell DVD reviews more than helpful and already know which one or two you need to start with to start seeing the results you really want!
