Supercharge Your Workout With Short Intense Kettlebell Workouts!



First let's take a look at a sample workout:

Mountain Climbers, 8 reps:

So what exactly are the benefits of a short but intense kettlebell workout like the one above?

A ten to fifteen short workout like the one above provide similar benefits than that of interval training in that it will raise your metabolism for upto 48 hours after the workout. This means that you will continue to burn calories hours after you have completed the workout.

The intense nature of this workout will also help to increase muscle mass and help tone those muscles.

It is this reason that people with a lot of commitments opt for these intense routines as they are able to keep their ripped physique whilst not performing long drawn out workouts
What are the drawbacks of Intense Kettlebell Workouts?

The main drawback of these short intense kettlebell workouts are that it will take a lot of getting used to. Even if you are an avid trainer switching to short intense workouts will really drain you of energy (as they are intended to do) to start off with.

If you are unable to perform the whole workout then obviously you can downgrade to a lighter weight kettlebell. Also if you are still having trouble completing the required workout then you can increase the rest time between sets until you can successfully perform the next amount of reps. Soon you will be able to perform the whole workout without any rests at all!
