What Makes Kettlebells so Effective For Weight Loss?

1. You burn more fat in less time!

Kettlebell training is different from conventional weight training because it focuses on the body's natural movements. Rather than exercising just your arms, legs, or back, Kettlebell training works the entire body as a complete unit. This type of training is very demanding – imagine how much more oxygen and energy is required to fuel 600+ muscles rather than just 1 or 2! The consequences of this are phenomenal; you can get an incredible workout in just 20 minutes and burn huge amounts of fat compared with regular long drawn out exercise.

2. You will burn more fat more of the time

Kettlebell training replicates the natural movement patterns of your body resulting in building muscle tone fast. 

Muscle tone is very important when it comes to fat loss.  Muscle is very metabolically active which means it constantly needs energy to maintain its size, and this is the good part – muscle's favourite source of energy is body fat! So the more muscle tone you can develop the more fat you will burn, even at rest.

3. You’ll burn calories even after exercise

The "Afterburn" or EPOC (excessive post-exercise oxygen consumption) is another great reason why kettlebells are so effective for fat loss. intensive exercise, like kettlebell training, that drives your body into the anaerobic zone with create "Afterburn" or EPOC. Following a kettlebell session the body has to work hard to return itself back to equilibrium: re-oxygenation of tissues, clearance of lactic acid, glycogen refuelling etc. This process demands energy and this energy comes from your fat stores. So, unlike other forms of exercise you will actually be burning calories after your workout and for up to 24 hours  - just try not to eat too many cakes while at rest!
