Alright, so you know Kettlebell exercises are great for fat loss. But are there certain movements that are better for fat loss then others? You better believe it! We want movements that burn the most fat by increasing your heart rate.

Here they are:

Kettlebell Front Squat

Squats engage a lot of muscle at once, which makes them great for burning fat. To perform this movement, clean a kettlebell and rack it to your shoulders. Place the other hand out in front of your for balance.

Push your hips back and bend your knees. Keep your chest out and shoulders back. Make sure to keep your abs tight and breath normally. Keep pushing your hips back until your thighs are slightly past parallel to the floor.

Return back to starting position and repeat with the other hand.

2 Handed KB Squat

There is also a 2 handed version of the Kettlebell Front Squat. With this version, you simply grab the Kettlebell with both hands on either sides of the handle. This movement will place greater stress on the abdominals.

You can make the movement easier by holding the Kettlebell closer to your body, and more difficult by holding the Kettlebell away from your body with straight arms. Try both version to see which works best for you.

Kettlebell Turkish Get Up

The Turkish getup is a full body movement, which makes it an incredible fat burning exercise. However, it’s also one of the most difficult movements to master. I personally hate it. But it works!

The main idea is lay on your back with a kettlebell held with one hand extended straight out above your head. From this position, you are to get up to standing position while keeping the Kettlebell in this same, locked out position over your head.

The best way to execute this is in the following manner:

• Lay down on the floor with the Kettlebell in your right hand extended out above your head. To execute the movement, bring your right leg in and use it to pivot to the left. Keep pivoting until your left hand is on the floor behind you.
• Use your right leg and left arm to move forward. As you continue to drive forward, bring your right leg in and place your left foot forward. At this point, you should be in the bottom position of the lunge.
• Take a breath and stand up completely. The Kettlebell should be overhead in locked out position at all times. To complete the movement, reverse it so that you are laying back on the ground.

Master these three movements and you’ll be leaner in no time! For additional Kettlebell workouts, I suggest picking up a copy of Kettlebell Revolution. Click here for more information
