The traditional fat loss theory that you should perform cardio, such as running, cycling or swimming, for as long as you can in order to burn as many calories as possible has been overturned in recent years. People around the globe began to realise that they were plodding away, day after day, and not losing any fat! In fact, people were getting fatter.
Has this happened to you? It sure happened to me! I didn't blame the workout though - I blamed myself for not doing enough, so tried to do more and more until I had no more time to devote to exercise, without severely compromising my life.
I was under the impression that it was my fault for not doing enough, whereas in fact, I was not actually doing the right kind of exercise to burn fat. By learning to maximise my workout time, I began to lose fat and shape up like never before, while spending half the time exercising (and no time at all in the gym - as I did it in the comfort of my own home!).
The secret - a tool known as a kettlebell! This unique exercise tool has meant I can get a cardio and strength workout in with a single piece of equipment, in my own home. It also delivers an unrivalled workout experience that means you can workout for as little as 10 minutes a day and get great results.
So, if you struggle to fit exercise into your life, the kettlebell has several benefits:
1. You can keep it at home and work out at home, so you don't waste any time travelling to the gym or messing around in changing rooms. My advice - get up 15 minutes earlier than usual and get a 10 - 15 minute workout in before breakfast. You're busy schedule is not impacted at all - and you will sleep better when you exercise regularly so will be able to get up those 15 minutes sooner with no problems at all! You will also have more energy throughout the day, so will get even more done - the kettlebell could well make you feel like you actually have more time in the day!
2. The workouts are incredibly efficient, so you make maximum use of your time spent exercising. The moves use every muscle in your body, and work them out intensely, so you burn maximum calories while you work out. You take short rests between intense bursts, which means you can work out to your maximum capacity, which gives your body such a great stimulus that it is forced to burn loads of calories to deal with it.
3. Because you are working intensely, the metabolism stays high throughout the day. What this means, is that you not only burn calories while you are exercising, but you continue to burn calories at an elevated rate for the rest of the day. So your 10 minutes has meant fat burning can go on all day - so you reap the rewards of every 10 minute session for a long time afterwards. But, if you don't get to work out in the morning, don't worry, The metabolism boost you get will be the same whatever time you work out, meaning that you can work out in the evening and still make the most of this effect - you'll just be burning fat while you sleep instead!
So, the trick to achieving your fat loss despite a busy schedule, is to get up 15 minutes earlier every day and add an intense 10 minute kettlebell workout to your day, 5 or 6 days per week. So long as you don't compensate by eating any more (ideally you should combine this with cutting your calories by 10%) you will see the fat melt off in no time.
