Best exercises for fat burning
Kettlebell swings
Trainer Jarrod Nobbe explained that kettlebell swings are a powerful movement that combines strength training with cardio. They engage the glutes, hamstrings, and lower back - key muscles of the posterior chain - while keeping your heart rate high.
For people over 40, swings help improve posture and provide an intense metabolic effect without the pounding associated with high-intensity plyometrics.
How to perform the exercise:
-
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and place the kettlebell on the floor in front of you.
-
Grap the handle with both hands, keeping your back straight.
-
Hike the kettlebell back between your legs like a football.
-
Then sharply lift the kettlebell to chest height.
Perform 3-4 sets of 15-20 reps with a rest of 30 to 45 seconds between sets.
