Heres a quick and easy kettlebell training routine that you can do in the comfort of your home without going to the gym.
Watch the first five kettlebell training videos that we previously shown before doing this routine to make sure you are doing the movements correctly.
Here are the exercises in order:
- kettlebell swings
- kettlebell darcy throws
- kettlebell clean & press
- kettlebell snatches
- kettlebell deck squats
Jenn performed each exercise in a very short amount of time, but there are variations that you can do to make this routine more challenging.
Instead of counting reps, do each movement for 45-60 second intervals and then without stopping, move onto the next exercise. Complete each routine for 3 sets around.
This routine when done right shouldn't take no more than 15 minutes. Do this routine 2-3 days a week.
Another variation to this routine is counting reps and doing each exercise for 12-15 reps on each arm and then going into the next exercise without stopping. When performed right this variation can also be done in 20 minutes.
Watch this video over and over again to make sure you doing all the exercises correctly.
Kettlebell training is a great way to:
- Increase muscular endurance
- Strengthen your core
- Improve cardio endurance

In our 4th series, Jenn will demonstrate a the "Darcy Throw." This is a great full body workout that promotes weight loss because in this exercise, you are using more 5 major muscles.
The more muscles activated during any exercise at the same time increases the need for more oxygen. The more oxygen needed to support muscle activation will increase metabolism. The faster your metabolism is, the faster your weight loss efforts will increase east bay.
So here are the muscle parts that are being used during this exercise:
- lower back
- core
- glutes
- hamstrings
- hip flexor
- shoulders
- trapezius

The kettlebell "Darcy Throw" is the next progression. Just like the first 3 videos, you will want to start in the squat position holding onto the kettlebell by the horns between your legs.
You will then thrust your hips, core, glutes, & hamstrings up and out of the squat position.
While swinging the kettlebell to eye level, you will want to let go of the kettlebell and in mid-air catch the kettlebell with the other hand.
When catching the kettlebell with the other hand it is very important that you control the weight with your core and stabilize so that the weight of the kettlebell pulls your upper body forward.
So when performing this exercise it is very important to use core strength to protect you back from any potential injuries when lowering the weight.
Because this exercise takes a lot of coordination, stability, and activation of many muscles simultaneously, it will help promote weight loss a lot faster than traditional weight training.

Here is Part 3 of how kettlebell training can help you lose weight. Kettlebell training is known to promote rapid weight loss. In this video, Jenn demonstrates the "clean."

- Have the kettlebell on the side of your body near your chin. From this position "sit" or squat down & have the kettlebell swing between your legs.
- After having the kettlebell swing between your legs, keep your core tight and in one thrusting motion explode with your hips, core, and glutes forward.
- As you are activating your core muscles, you are going to swing the kettlebell upward towards your upper body. Remember, keep your thumb and arms in tight towards your chin as your swinging the kettle bell up.
- Don't forget to use your glutes, hip flexors, and core to explode the kettlebell forward. Don't try to muscle the kettlebell with your upper body. This is a full body workout.

Remember try this movement with light weight and master the technique correctly before going heavy and moving up in weight.
When done correctly kettlebell training is the best way to lose weight. Many of my clients in the east bay are doing my kettlebell weight loss program and seeing tremendous results.

The best way to lose weight the quickest is functional training. What I mean by functional training are body weighted exercises, moving your body in different planes of motion (real life movements), and core/stability training. This kind of training is the most effective.
