Fittest Fall: 30-Minute Kettlebell Workout to Lose Fat Fast

Written by

Side Lunge With Kettlebell Press

Hold your kettlebell at chest height with two hands. Stand with your feet together, tailbone tucked under and shoulders back. Place your weight on your left leg and step out to the right. As you step out to the right, begin to hinge at your hips like you're sitting in a chair. Hold. Lift the kettlebell over your head. Hold. Bring it back down to your chest and then push off your right foot to return to standing position. Do 10 reps per leg.

Squat and Single-Arm High Pull

Begin standing with feet slightly wider than hip-distance apart. Hold the kettlebell in your left hand and squat down. Lower the kettlebell toward your right foot. Hold. Engage your glutes and core and stand while pulling the kettlebell up to your left shoulder. Repeat 10 per arm.

Kettlebell Swing

Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Hold your kettlebell with both hands straight down in front of you. Engage your glutes and core and begin to hinge at the hips slightly. Allow your kettlebell to go through your legs. Then snap your hips forward and drive your kettlebell up to at least shoulder height. Let the kettlebell swing down through your legs, using your core to control the movement, and then drive it back up. Repeat this for one minute.

Single-Leg Zig-Zag Hops

Stand tall and place all of your weight onto your right foot. Allow your left foot to lift off the ground and bend at the knee. With your right foot, push off the ground and hop forward and to the left, don't let your left foot touch the ground. All of your weight is still on your right foot. Then hop forward and to the right. Continue to zig zag across the room for 30 seconds. Switch legs and continue to hop for another 30 seconds.

Squat and Twist With a Kettlebell

Stand tall, feet hip-width apart and shoulders back. Hold the kettlebell about chest high. Lower down like you're about to sit in a chair and hold. Make sure your knees do not pass your toes. From here, twist your torso to the right. Come back to center and then twist to the left. Repeat this for one minute.

Football Sprints With Toe Taps

Begin standing, feet shoulder-width apart. Slightly hinge at the hips, allowing your knees to bend. Begin to sprint in place, every 5 to 10 seconds tap your foot with the opposite hand (example: left hand touches right foot). Do this as fast as you can for one minute.

Repeat this circuit five times with a one-minute rest between each round.
