800 Calorie Kettlebell EMOM Workout

According to study done by the American Council on Exercise, a kettlebell workout can burn 20.2 calories per minute.

That’s over 1,200 calories per hour!

Researchers say that’s equivalent to running a six-minute mile, or cross-country skiing uphill at a fast pace.

Compare this to an hour of standard weight training, which burns between 180 and 266 calories, and you’re on to a winner.

If you’re looking for a workout that burns a huge amount of calories, check out today’s 800 Calorie Kettlebell EMOM Workout.

(Calorie burn is an ESTIMATE, and is based on the average 177 pound North American adult. Your results may vary.)
