14 Kettlebell Moves For An All-Over Body Calorie Torcher [VIDEO]
The kettlebell is one of the most versatile and effective pieces of equipment for getting you in top-notch shape — and giving you one doozy of a workout. Not only will your muscles be sore afterward, but your heart will be racing as you swing this weighted iron ball over, under and through your body in every possible direction. You might be wondering how a kettlebell is better or different from a regular dumbbell. The biggest difference is the distribution of the weight. A dumbbell has the weight evenly distributed on both sides of the handle whereas a kettlebell has all its weight in the center with just a handle above it to hold. And because all the weight is centrally located in one spot, it's more of a challenge to lift it. Unlike a dumbbell, it will not tilt to one side. If you've seen kettlebells, but weren’t quite sure what to do with them, you're in luck. Here are 14 great kettlebell exercises that will work your entire body while torching some major calories and fat. If you're a beginner, pick a few of the exercises and complete them in a sequence workout doing 3 sets of 12-15 reps each. If you've been around the block once or twice, try to get through the whole sequence two times through doing 12-15 reps of each exercise. Pick up a kettlebell (or two) and give these exercises a try. You can do an entire kettlebell circuit workout with some or all of these exercises. It makes for a great workout that gives you both strength and cardiovascular conditioning. As you get more comfortable performing these moves, you can begin increasing the weight of the kettlebell. It won’t be long before you are swinging, cleaning and thrusting like a pro. Once you're finished reading the infographic below, be sure to scroll for detailed instructions on each exercise.
