Got 10 Minutes? This Kettlebell Workout Only Has 3 Exercises – Fitness


This article originally appeared on Life by Daily Burn.

It’s time to show up to your workout with bells on — and we’re not just talking about your enthusiasm. Kettlebells deliver a unique and powerful workout that’s hard to mimic with other equipment. Just take it from Dara Theodore, a lead trainer for Daily Burn’s new DB10 program (now available for premium users) and kettlebell-certified instructor. “Kettlebells have an edge in improving core stability, range of motion, strength and endurance,” she says. “The handle and position of the weight allow for more seamless transitions from skill to skill, providing a great metabolic workout.”

In other words, you’ll blast mega calories and build muscle all over with each kettlebell move. And that’s especially true when you follow these three combo exercises, borrowed from Theodore’s DB10 workout. “Together, these skills effectively work your lower body, upper body and core,” she says. “They utilize push and pull motions and represent movement in all planes of motion.” So ring that bell — we have a winner!

3 Exercises for a Quick, Effective Kettlebell Workout

Like every workout in the DB10 program, you can complete this kettlebell workout in less time than it takes to boil your post-cardio pasta. Continuously do six reps of each move, in order, until your 10 minutes is up. Also known as an AMRAP routine — as many rounds as possible — try to take as little rest as possible between rounds. “This can be a good benchmark for you to test over time,” Theodore explains. As your fitness level increases, the number of rounds you complete should increase, too.

Now, grab both a heavy kettlebell and a lighter one that you can lift. Then push hard through the full 10 minutes, while maintaining solid form. You’ll see just how much strength and cardio work you can ring in, in just a few minutes flat.
