Shrink Your Belly Overhang for Good With This Kettlebell Workout
Ah, dreaded belly fat. Nobody likes dealing with it, yet it still appears. Abdominal fat is easy to gain and a really stubborn area to lose. At times, it seems as though nothing you do helps the situation. But don't fret, because we're here to tell you that you absolutely can shrink your belly overhang for good with this kettlebell workout.
As with any area you're trying to melt and tone, it's important to lower your calorie intake, perform cardio regularly, and last but not least, have a solid strength training workout on deck. Kettlebells are one of the best tools to use for strength training. This is because the shape and weight distribution forces your body to work harder to stabilize itself. This makes regular movements more challenging, allowing you to burn more calories and fat.
If you're looking to shrink your belly overhang for good, then we recommend incorporating kettlebells into your training to get the results you're looking for. Here's an excellent workout to lose belly fat.
Double Kettlebell Front Squat
For the Double Kettlebell Front Squat, grab a pair of kettlebells, and hold them both up to your shoulders with your elbows high. Keep your chest tall and core tight, then push your hips back, and squat down until your hips are at least parallel to the ground. Drive through your heels to come back up while flexing your quads and glutes to finish. Perform 3 to 4 sets of 10 reps.
