Kettlebells are such a versatile piece of exercise equipment that you can practically take with you to most places. It’s the ideal singular investment that you could make if you are to workout at home or need a gym that you can take on the road with you.

In a gym, the kettlebell is usually a little forgotten piece of equipment that’s largely underused, so this can be your time to take advantage and show everyone at your gym how tough they can be.

Using just one kettlebell you can work your entire body. With a kettlebell in your arsenal, you can benefit from improved strength, increased speed and power, you can work on your endurance, gain flexibility, improve your core stability and even help to build lean muscle.  

Implemented into a circuit or High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workout kettlebells become your secret fat burning weapon.

Why are kettlebells ranked for being so good for fat loss?

Most kettlebell exercises not only demand a full-body movement where a lot of your major muscle groups will be working but a lot of kettlebell moves are quite explosive and require high energy movements, which of course burns the most calories in the process.

Incorporate these high energy exercises into a circuit or a short HIIT workout and you are on for a highly effective fat burning workout.  

Today’s extreme kettlebell workout is going to focus on cardio so you will need a slightly lighter than usually kettlebell so that you can build up some speed. The reps used in today’s extreme kettlebell cardio workout is going to be 20 of each.

For the unilateral exercises (the exercises where you use just one arm or leg) you will do 10 reps per side.

You’ll be doing an eight-station circuit twice through only resting after the end of round one. It shouldn’t take you too long to complete this kettlebell workout.

If your kettlebell is too heavy to complete 20 repetitions of each exercise just do as many as you can of each exercise. The aim of this extreme kettlebell cardio workout is to not stop.

If it’s needed you may need to complete three or four rounds to get your reps in.

On the other hand, if your kettlebell is too light then do a few extra reps of each exercise, still do the two rounds.
