KB Swing + Burpee Countdown Ladder Challenge

If I had 15 minutes, and I wanted to get a complete full body workout, and all I had was one kettlebell and a small space to do it, this would be one of my top workout choices.

It SEEMS super simple – and it IS! – but it’s also really tough, and really effective.

There are only two moves:

– two hand KB swings
– burpees

(Suggested weight for the swings is 32k for men, 20k for women)

What you do is this.

First, set a timer. You’re going to try and complete the entire workout as fast as you can.

Start with 10 KB swings. (The swings are on the side of lower reps, hence the higher recommended weights. If you are not ready for these, NO PROBLEM – but they are great goals to work towards!)

As soon as you are done, go right into 10 burpees.

Then, you’ll rest as needed, and do 9 swings.

Then you’ll do 9 burpees.

Then 8 swings.

Then 8 burpees.

And you’ll continue in this fashion until you’ve worked your way all the way down to 1 rep of each.

BOOM!

You just worked ALL the muscles in your body, you did it with a single kettlebell, and you did it in 20 minutes or less.

And now there’s just one thing left for you to do. Click here to access the complete Kettlebell Challenge Workouts 2.0 training plan. But hurry, because it won’t be available for long!

(video) 10 Min KB Workout #2

Based on recent survey results, one goal that almost everyone is looking for help with is fat loss.

And, also based on survey results, one of the biggest obstacles in the way of reaching that goal, seems to be lack of time.

Believe me – I can relate! Between family, running two gyms, and everything else I have going in a typical week, finding time to keep my personal workout routine going can be really tough.

That’s exactly why, when all else fails, I got my KBs πŸ™‚

Using workouts like the one I’m going to share with you today, you can crank a high-intensity, fat-burning, lean-muscle-building workout any time, any place, in a very short period of time.

In face – this one will only take you 10 minutes!

– You have a general idea of how to exercise, but are not exactly sure what to do to get the best results
– You are training at home and have limited equipment to work with
– You struggle with your diet, and you know it’s another major obstacle in getting you the results you’re after

Well, you are not alone. Because there are many, many others in your same situation.

You even have me as your personal coach, motivating you and encouraging you after every workout, and there to answer questions and provide support at any time.

Kettlebells are the PERFECT tool for rapid fat loss.

And you can use them anywhere. You can do a kettlebell workout in your room, a home office, at the park, or in your backyard.

So today’s workout combines the fat loss power of kettlebells with a metabolic circuit – style training session to give you the ultimate time – efficient rapid fat loss results!

[vid] The KB Arm Bar

When folks are looking to improve their shoulder mobility AND / OR stability, one of the first exercises I recommend – in most cases – is the kettlebell arm bar.

It is great for:

– opening up the rib cage
– opening up the thoracic spine
– loosening up the pecs
– loosening up the fascial line between the pecs and the opposite hip
– keeping your shoulders feeling great!

HOW TO DO IT

Start lying on the ground, with the KB at your side, at shoulder level, in what we call the “cradle” position. (Looks like you at the start of a Turkish get up)

Now pull the KB to the body, roll to the back, and extend the working arm to lock out. (Be sure to pack the shoulder back and down for stability!)

Now, take the same leg as your working arm, and drive it over the top of your body. You’re going to drive that hip towards the ground, as well as bringing the working shoulder towards the ground.

Breath in and then exhale, driving the hip and shoulder towards the ground a little more each time. Do this three to five times progressively.

Be sure to watch the video that shows how to do this exercise too:

Incorporate the movement into your routine and see the change you can create!
