Kettle bells are widely used and have great benefits for muscle building

Also read: What happens to your body if you don't have sex for some timeExercise regimes are elaborate, especially if you wish to lose a considerable amount of weight. It is quite difficult to manage a workout in which the muscles are adequately exercised and copious amounts of cardio can be accommodated to facilitate weight loss. Circuit workouts are a great way to accommodate and balance out a workout so that it is effective and comprehensive. Another addition to this routine is a kettle bell. Performing everyday movements with a weight such as a kettle bell can add greatly to these normal movements and help build strength. Squats, pushing, hinging, pulling and carrying stuff is routine to most of us and practicing them as a part of workout can help perform them better in everyday life while eliminating any risks of injury and actually strengthen your core even though they may seem extremely simple.

Here is a kettle bell circuit work out regime that will exercise all major muscle groups in your body and will also suffice for cardio. In addition to this, it is an HIIT based workout that focuses on intense activity periods that are alternated with periods of rest. Three kettle bells; a small sized, a medium sized and a large sized kettle bell would be required for this work out. A good warm up is strongly recommended before starting this exercise circuit.

2/6

Kettle bell swing

Also read: How to net let grief get the better of youKettle bell swings are simple movements that include forming a triangle with the kettle bell and your feet that should be knee width apart. This exercise targets the hamstrings and the glutes. The entire force should originate from the hips and be driven primarily by them so that the spine isn’t strained. Every rep should be done for twenty seconds.

3/6

Single arm overhead press

This is a unilateral movement that engages the shoulders, triceps, upper chest and the core in its entirety. Make sure you perform the reps for twenty seconds and switch sides after that.

4/6

Sumo squats

This is a commonly performed movement that works the glutes and the quads. It is also extremely beneficial for the inner thighs. Since the stance is much more wide in this one as compared to the actual squat position and hence much more comfortable. It should be done for forty seconds

5/6

Single arm row

Even though a little complicated, this movement engages the core and the back muscles very well. It should be performed for twenty seconds, after which sides have to be switched.

6/6

Rock carry

This movement has to be done for 45 seconds and then it is to be done on the opposite side. It enhances core stability and grip strength. If you wish to work on your oblique muscles, then this is just the exercise for you. Go ahead and make the most of it. All the exercises have to be performed as per the designated amount of time and ensure that you take minimal but mandatory amounts of time of rest after every exercise. Once the circuit is completed, rest for two to three minutes and then go on to repeat the circuit.
