Exercise of the day: Kettlebell Swing!

A Kettlebell Swing is highly efficient, working the abs and strengthen the core muscles as they provide a stable platform for other muscles to pull from PLUS they work the posterior chain muscles such as the hamstrings, glutes, core and back.

A kettlebell swing is a perfect choice of exercise for tabata training. This very short but intense style of training is ideal for kettlebell swings as they hit a lot of muscle at one time and get the heart rate soaring. Although Tabata training only involves work periods of 20 seconds with 10seconds of rest it is very brutal but very effective.

Swings are a fantastic conditioner and body fat burner. More and more studies are concluding that greater body fat burning occurs when training is performed at higher intensity levels rather than long slow endurance type training.

 

FORM IS CRUTIAL!

 Good Luck!
