There are many fat loss routines out there that are "golden," but are overlooked by the massive amounts of cardio options. Sample routines can be found on YouTube, but are typically directed towards using a kettlebell for building muscle. A problem you see on these videos is that the men and women completing the routines are usually not in impressive shape and are giving tips that really aren't that useful. I love to mix and match different areas of fitness to optimize maximum fat loss, so the kettlebell is an amazing tool to get ripped. Instead of using a kettlebell routine exclusively, here is an outline of  kettlebell circuits.

Not Quite A Kettlebell

Kettlebell Circuits: The Best Use Of Bodyweight And Cardio

You can get some pretty stunning results with body weight circuits but the only downside is that they tend to neglect the pulling muscles in the back and biceps. There is also a downside when using a kettlebell exclusively. You can't recover as fast like you can with body weight circuits. The faster recovery with body weight circuits allows you to do them more often for increased fat burning. We can blend them together for an all around full body fat burner.

1. Squat With Kettlebell in front of chest - 20 reps
2. Standard Push Ups - 20 reps
3. Kettlebell Swing- 20 reps
4. Walking Lunges - 20 reps per side
5. Single Arm High Pulls (Don't bring the kettlebell over your head)- 10 reps per arm
6. Mountain Climbers - 20 reps
7. One Arm Kettlebell Swing - 10 reps per side
8. Close Grip Push Ups(I like to elevate my feet) - 20 reps
9. Kettlebell One Arm Row - 10 reps per side
10. Kettlebell Cleans - 20 reps

Note: Complete the entire circuit and only rest for 1-2 minutes. Then complete the circuit 2 more times. If you are feeling like a champ, you may want to include 15 minutes of HIIT on a treadmill or exercise bike. Whatever you prefer, this is a great way to increase HGH naturally and boosting the metabolism.

Your Own Routine

What I like about this kettlebell routine is that it takes a very small amount of equipment and is very beneficial for both men and women. Kettlebell circuits are a great way to shake things up from traditional cardio. I like to implement these types of circuits to get me back on track with my fat loss efforts.
