The Midnight Workout

Kettlebells are no doubt an incredible tool for fat loss. I swear by them and have seen great improvements in my strength, flexibility, agility, endurance, muscle definition and overall conditioning. I always try to fit in a workout no matter what time of day it is and today was no exception. This workout was done at 12:20am, after a really long day at the office. Short and intense, just the way i like it - and done in under 25 minutes.

To get maximum results in a minimum amount of time, try performing this workout without stopping. By going at such a high intensity, this will not only save time, but also accelerate the fat burning effects of your workout even after you're done! That means you can be burning extra calories for up to 24 hours after your workout.

Try this:


Warmup

ankle, knee, hip, arm rotations x10 each side
push ups x10

Workout
using 1kb:
kb swings x30
windmill with press x20 each side
side passes x40
clean squat press x20
lunge & press x10 each side
1 arm row x20 each side
bottoms up press x20
seated ab twist x50
reverse crunch x20

using 2kbs:
see saw press x20
1 leg health lift x20 each leg
punches x20
kb swings x20

rest and enjoy the after burn.

Until next time, keep burning the fat!
