This is why I am including this hard hitting interval for you to jet blast body fat right off of your midline while giving you the muscle and cardiovascular conditioning of a race horse at the same time. Keep on reading if you are wanting to amp up your training along with your health.

Too many times I hear people talk about hitting the weight room section of a gym and then going to the treadmill to “Get their cardio in.” This is something I don’t have time to do and I am certain you don’t either. Besides the fact that this approach is more time consuming it is also not as effective as learning how to impact your body by engaging in a hard hitting workout in less than half the time. This is why I am going to introduce you to the following evil interval program. All you need to make it work is a single kettlebell of moderate resistance and a timer. If you want to work with a partner this will be even better.

To begin, simply choose 3 different styles of kettlebell strength endurance type lifts. In other words, lifts such as swings, snatches, cleans, and jerks will all qualify for this particular interval training workout. For the sake of argument lets assume we are doing double arm swings, single arm snatches, and single arm short cycle jerks. From here start with a timed set of 20 seconds per lift. If you are doing single sided isolateral drills (one arm snatch) try to distribute the work evenly (10 seconds each arm). From here have your partner time your 20 seconds and as soon as you complete your 20 seconds of the drill of choice your partner will jump in and complete theirs. Your ONLY rest time is your partner’s GO time and vice versa.

As you begin the 20 second timed intervals you will each want to perform 3 rounds per lift. So in the case of the mentioned choice of kettlebell lifts you will each perform 3 x 20 second double arm swings, 3 x 20 second single arm snatches, and 3 x 20 second short cycle jerks! Once you have blistered through this 3 minutes of body blasting hell then feel free to do additional rounds if you have enough gas left in the tank. If you were looking to amp up your training then you just did it with this hard hitting interval my friend.
