Today’s kettlebell workout totally kicked butt, especially on the abs. I can’t see why anyone would want to do crunches, when a lot of various kettlebell exercises are so much more effective. Plus, they give you more bang for your buck. Crunches don’t burn enough calories to give you the six pack that so many janky fitness products and DVDs claim. Honestly, real six pack abs are made in the kitchen. However, performing the following exercises with a couple of kettlebells (you could also use one, if that’s all you have…no worries), will not only make your core stronger, but they will also help build long lean muscle, increase your overall strength, work the entire body, as well as ramp up your cardio. Now, that’s a combination (a time-saving one, to say the least), that can help you be on your way to carving out a strong and sexy mid-section. By the way, we were recording this workout, but were betrayed by running out of tape. However, I will re-record this one again and post it here. 1. Double Kettlebell Front Squat x 24 kg x 6 x 3 Give this workout a try, and let me know how you do. By the way, what are some of your favorite double kettlebell exercises? Please share them below. p.s. If you are looking for great no b.s. kettlebell training DVDs, be sure to check out the great line up of DVDs over at my man, Steve Cotter’s Website. |

Folks always ask what we do in our fitness bootcamp and what makes us different than the gazillion bootcamps in Houston (especially in our park location).
Trust me, it’s not just about the workouts (because, we don’t workout…we play).
It’s not just about the tools we use (it seems like everyone is trying to go “underground” with their training methods & use tires, sandbags, kettlebells, etc).
Heck, it’s not about offering a bootcamp, in order to get you out of the gym. (Again, it seems everyone & their mom offers a bootcamp, these days.)
So what makes us different?
This is a place for folks to stop wishing, complaining, hoping, and wanting their hands held.
This is a “Punk-Free” zone. If you are a true “go-getter,” this is the place for you.
If you want to reenact a scene from a weight loss reality TV show, and cry about what you “CAN’T” do & how hard things are…this is not the place for you.
If you are fed up with your quality of life not meeting your expectations, and are committed to doing something about it “RIGHT NOW!” then this is the place for you.
If you have a warrior inside of you, ready to get out and take charge in the world, and surround yourself with fellow Warriors & Warriorettes, who share your inner fire, then this is the place for you.
If you’re more concerned with “how much is it” versus “how committed am I,” then keep it moving. This is not the place for you.
The members of my JoshOne FitCamp & New Warrior Kettlebell Training Classes play hard, have fun, are not afraid to sweat, despise whiners, cheer on winners, ignore quitters, continuously meet & set new goals, and most importantly, get the results they seek!
If you are ready to make it happen, RIGHT NOW, stop “thinking about it,” and make the first move, by logging on to http://joshonefitcamp.com.

1. 1 Hand Kettlebell Swing (l/r) x 2 min./side
2. Jump Rope x 400
3. Kettlebell Front Squat x 1 min
Perform this circuit of exercises for 4 rounds with 30 sec. rest between exercises and 1 min. rest between sets. This workout will surely amp up your kettlebell training, fat burning routine, as well as help your get stronger, leaner, and build your cardio endurance.
This workout is excellent for fat loss, and combines kettlebell exercises with my favorite fat-burning tool, the jump rope. Perform each exercise back to back. Take brief breaks to re-hydrate. You will work your way up the ladder of reps for each exercise. For example, perform 50 jump ropes, then immediately perform 5 one-arm kettlebell swings with the right hand, and then do the same with the left. Go immediately into 100 jump ropes, 10 kb one-arm swings w/ right…etc. Post your finishing time in the comments section. If you do not have a kettlebell, perform the sings with a dumbbell.
1. Jump Rope - 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 200, 150, 100, 50
2. 1 Arm KB Swing – 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5
My finishing time: 31:08
