Hey Mike,

If your goal is fat loss then you can do a KB workout 5 days a week, provided you feel recovered enough. For this goal I would also recommend high intensity interval cardio rather than steady-paced. This way you will a) burn more fat for energy and b) save yourself a lot of time. If you put enough effort in, you need only do a 20 – 30 min High Intensity Workout. I would also suggest some other form of strength training, in order to build some lean muscle mass, which will aid fat loss.

If you still wish to contact me regarding more detailed questions, please do so at mvk_82@hotmail.com 🙂

Cheers
Marianne

Ok so I rocked this workout today…..this is my first KB workout and it kicked my ass. I did wear my heart rate monitor and I burned 500 calories. Marianne you rock!!!! I feel like a 10 pound weakling!!! I am not sure how my form is but I will keep trying. Only question I have is how many days a week do you do a KB workout? After my workout I jumped on a treadclimber for 50 minutes and did 2400 foot elevation gain and 4576 steps, and a quick ab workout.

Marianne I would love to chat with you about these workouts…I have a few questions….let me know if that would be possible through email or Facebook or something

Thanks for the workouts and keep inspiring like you do…..it got me into KB!!!

Did this with my 20kg earlier, added a set of 15 chest presses each side on both rounds.

It was a total killer , but I loved it 🙂

I think this is one of my favourite workouts, it’s a good full body workout and you can easily add more exercises in to make it longer, or add a tabata at the end, or just do it as it is if you not got much time.

There’s no reason why men can’t used Kettlebells too, they are very good for strength, flexibility and fat loss, so they are worth trying.

Cheers for comment

You’re lucky then, you must be flexible – I aint 🙁 I still find it hard to maintain form for snatches, will have to start including them more again so I can practice.

In reply to Marianne. I actually find those quite easy, it was towards the end of the 2nd set of snatches that I struggled and lost form a bit.

Blimey this was a bit harder with my 16kg!

Feels good to progress as I know 6 weeks ago when I got my first KB I would never have been able to use a 16kg for any of the workouts.
