The Sickest Cardio Workout on the Planet!

Blue Marble (Planet Earth) by woodleywonderworks


So what is the sickest cardio workout on the planet? What is it for? Well, I'll start by telling you what it is not. It isn't for the weak minded, the uncommitted, the excuse makers, or the so-called "know it all" that thinks 9 sets of bicep curls is going to get you a fit body. It IS for those that want to make a change, will try something new, and don't mind failing. That's right, I said failing! I said failing because at first you might not be able to finish this workout. The sickest cardio workout on the planet is also the best cardio workout in my opinion and it involves kettlebell training.

As you may know by now kettlebell training is an ancient art form that has been around for a long time. This ancient device is tremendous in helping you to forge a rock hard body with the cardiovascular conditioning of a race horse. The specific high intensity cardiovascular workout that I am referring to is the double arm overhead swing for time. 

The base lift of the kettlebell is the double arm swing. This lift normally involves you swinging the kettlebell from between your legs up to chest height back and forth like a pendulum. However, with this specific workout I am modifying that lift by having you swing the bell all the way up to above your head rather than just to chest level. This adds a whole new world of intensity to the lift. In addition to swinging it above your head you are going to be swinging the bell in continuous motion for time instead of reps. The amount of time to swing the bell in this fashion will be 2 minutes. If you have done anything for 2 minutes such as jump rope, hitting the bag, or even running at a fast pace you know just how hard this is going to be. Start the drill with a moderately heavy bell. Make sure to properly execute the hip snap to generate the necessary momentum to keep the bell swinging through the arc-like motion.

If you haven't been introduced to kettlebell training until now then I am glad to be the matchmaker. This is no doubt the hardest hitting fat burning cardio exercise you can do. Take the time to learn more by accessing the rest of my articles on the matter. Remember that anyone can train hard, but only the best train smart!

Lose the Inches Now - 2 Exercises to Help You Shrink Your Waistline!

Kettlebell Strength Circuit Workout #1 by mbodystrength

Are you tired of getting out of breath or getting lightheaded when you bend over to tie your shoes? Do you want to lose some inches off of your waistline? If so then you need to implement the following 2 drills into your personal program.

1. Kettlebell Bear Crawls: This is a very intense kettlebell training exercise that is sure to get you into fat burn mode. To execute this drill you will need the availability of a set of kettlebells of equal weight and an open flat field. Mark off a distance of about 10 to 20 yards depending on your desired work intensity. Next, get into an upright push-up position with a kettlebell in each hand and with your body stabilized with the bells. From here move forward by crawling with your arms by lifting the bells off of the ground moving forward placing one in front of the other. Keep your legs straight and only torque your hips back and forth to help your progress. This kettlebell workout routine will terminate your waistline!

2. Walking Lunge Jumps: For this lower body exercise you will also need the availability of a flat open field. Once again mark off a distance of about 20 yards. From here you just want to execute a typical walking lunge. Now the only difference is that once you step forward with the lead leg for the walking lunge come out of it and explosively jump off of the lead leg and land with both feet in front of you. Make sure that you land by squatting to absorb the impact and that you land heel to toe. Both feet should be shoulder width distance apart upon landing. From here simply start with the opposite leg for the next repetition. This is one of the best lower body workouts you can do.

You will find that both of these drills will promote a significant amount of fat-loss and will melt the inches off of your waistline. Practice the drills often and flawlessly in order to build your strength to get the most out of the movement!
