We have blogged about kettlebells early on. How fabulous the kettlebell workout can be. It truly is a whole body workout. If you are limited on time, you can get your heart rate up and still tone and condition your muscles. Another great thing about kettlebells, is that no matter what exercise you perform, you must keep your core engaged.
By using the kettlebells, you can burn stomach fat, because the heart rate is elevated for
cardio and the stomach is tight! One of the the abdominal specific exercises is the Windmill. Legs are apart with one foot pointed about 45 degrees out and back foot is facing forward. You can use 2 kettlebells by holding one in each hand. Keep the front leg straight, as you extend the opposite arm straight up in the air. Now bend toward the side of the forward leg as your hand reaches for your toes, while other arm is extended straight up. It is very similar to a Triangle pose in yoga. Both hands can hold a kettlebell or just the lifted arm. Switch and repeat on the other side.
Renegade Rows, are a tough exercise, which will surely get the heart rate going. Start out in a push up position, except each hand is holding a kettlebell. Lift one arm toward your body, like a bent over row, keeping that core strong and don’t twist the body. Put the arm down and alternate with the other arm. Keep alternating till fatigue. Wow!!
I do hope you can incorporate some kettlebell exercises into your routine, for a whole body workout and to burn stomach fat.
How to Feel the Burn
Everyone is always on the lookout for the best exercise routine around. They want to know what will burn the most fat, shed the most pounds, and best tone muscles. Unfortunately, there’s no magic exercise routine that can promise these results without a lot of personal work and dedication. After all, losing weight (when done in the safest way possible) is a gradual but steady process.
Although it will require effort on your part (including workouts and diet changes), it is true that some types of workouts are smarter than others. The best fat burning workouts, for example, are usually of particular interest to people.
The simple thing to remember about fat burning workouts is that increasing your heart rate is essential. When you get your heart rate to a target point, which varies for each person, you can actually increase your metabolism. This, in turn, helps you burn fat effectively.
It is also important to note that any type of exercise can help you burn fat so long as your heart rate is elevated. For some people, that means walking can be an effective fat burner. For others, it will be jogging or basketball or cycling.
Also remember to switch up the routine. If you get bored with your workout, you simply won’t stick to it.
