The Amazing 37-Minute Workout
Introducing Kettlebells
We've all seen odd-looking workout equipment (foam rollers, countless ab devices...). But kettlebells you've gotta try, even if they do look like iron granny purses. A 20-minute workout with them is worth about an hour on the treadmill!
"Kettlebells sculpt every part of your body -- fast," says Michele Olson, PhD, an exercise physiologist at Auburn University Montgomery in Alabama. Most moves involve swinging the kettlebell up or across the body. All of the weight is below the handle, so your core has to work hard to counteract the momentum. The result? You'll lose inches and be stronger and leaner than ever.
Get a feel for using kettlebells -- and burn about 400 calories -- as you sculpt your entire body with this 40-minute routine.
What you'll need: A set of 10- to 15-pound dumbbells (or kettlebells, from 10 to 45 pounds, $30 to $90; find them at gofit.net) and a mat. Or start with a lighter weight and then move up as soon as you're ready.
How it works: Do this workout as a circuit, moving from one set of exercises to the next with minimal rest. Complete the circuit four or five times. Do the workout two or three days a week.

12/16/2011 01:02:37 PM Report AbuseMISLEADING. Kettlebells are awesome-but MUST be used carefully. WHY have advertise a workout without the actual equipment?!?
3/12/2011 06:15:41 AM Report AbuseIt is nice enough that people are giving workout advice for free. We have become so spoiled that multiple pages is such an inconvenience. Why isn't anyone instead complaining that this is a waste of paper, in turn being a waste of natural resources?
3/11/2011 09:48:26 AM Report AbuseI had no problem printing all the slides at once. If you hit the Printer icon, it will take you to the first slide. Near the top of the page you have the choice to "Print All Slides". Hit this choice and all slides will show and then hit "Print". BUT - I do agree that if this is a Kettle Ball workout, then show the models using Kettleballs. Seems silly that we even have to mention this!!
3/7/2011 11:48:47 AM Report AbuseWhat is the point of saying how great kettlebells are (which they are) and then not using them in the slides. Also kettlebells must be used safely - they are a lot different to just using dumbbells. Not impressed with your workout!!!
11/7/2010 03:27:09 PM Report AbuseWill someone from management answer the question about not being able to print work outs please? There has to be a way to do it even tho' you changed everything. Thank you.
11/7/2010 03:18:52 PM Report AbuseWHY DON'T YOU TELL US THERE IS A 500 character limit so I wouldn't waste my time?I cannot print the slides either so why did u change it? Why did you change that? Why are the exercises being done with a weight and not a kettlebell?ow stupid.U said in the newsletter u had a great kettlebell workout and what do u do?Use a stupid weight. If u keep messing up this website I am going to quit using it. FIX IT
11/7/2010 02:53:02 PM Report AbuseI LOVE Kettlebells - but why aren't the models using them for the article????? You need to show them in use - a newbie might not understand the dynamic movement - and it is not the same as a dumbbell in grip or feel.
11/4/2010 06:26:29 PM Report AbuseI would like to be able to print the workout all at once as well. It is great information, but annoying to take with and use when it is on more than a couple of sheets.
11/4/2010 12:44:50 PM Report AbuseSince you've changed the format- I miss being able to print all slides at once.
11/4/2010 10:13:46 AM Report AbuseHow do we print the workout?
11/1/2010 02:48:57 PM Report Abusea kettlebell is a weight.. so yes..
5/13/2010 04:31:20 PM Report AbuseCan you tell me if you must skip a day between kettlebell workouts like you do in weight training? I love the idea of the workout, but don't want to overtrain and hurt myself.
