I KNOW WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A HOLIDAY WEEKEND, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T GET A GOOD WORKOUT IN...
I ALSO NEEDED A REASON TO PLAY WITH 2 NEW TOYS I BOUGHT, 25# KETTLEBELLS.
SO HERE IS TODAY'S WOD, REMEMBER THAT DUMBBELLS CAN BE SUBSTITUTED FOR THE KETTLEBELLS...
5 ROUNDS NOT FOR TIME:
EVERY EXERCISE IS WITH DUEL KBS/DBS
10 FRONT SQUATS
10 DOUBLE ARM SWINGS
10 CLEANS
10 CLEANS AND PRESSES
10 SNATCHES
TRY TO COMPLETE EACH ROUND UNBROKEN...MEANING TRYING NOT TO PUT THE KB/DB DOWN..
Kettlebell training is different from conventional weight training
because it focuses on the body's natural movements, these natural
movements leave no muscles untouched. So rather than exercising just
your arms, legs, or back, kettlebell training works the entire body as a
complete unit.
This type of training is very demanding, imagine how much more oxygen and energy is required to fuel 600+ muscles rather than just 1 or 2! The consequences of this are phenomenal; you can get an incredible workout in just 20 minutes and burn huge amounts of fat compared with regular long drawn out exercise.

The
"Afterburn" or EPOC (excessive post-exercise oxygen consumption) is
another great reason why kettlebells are so effective for fat loss.
Certain intensive exercise, like kettlebell training, that drives your
body into the anaerobic zone with create "Afterburn" or EPOC.
Following a kettlebell session the body has to work hard to return itself back to equilibrium: re-oxygenation of tissues, clearance of lactic acid, glycogen refuelling etc. This process demands energy and this energy comes from, you guessed it, your fat stores. So unlike other forms of exercise you will actually be burning calories after your workout, and for up to 24 hours too.
