Outdoor Kettlebell Fun


Now that the weather is taking a turn for the bright and sunny it’s time to take your workouts outdoors!

Kettlebells are the ultimate in fat burning, time saving cardio, and frickin’ portable! Build your strength and stamina with this easy to follow, simple workout that will have you sweating in the sun in no time.

Directions: Grab your kettlebell and your MBody Kettleback (go to www.mbodystrength.com for more info) or a sturdy backpack. Bring a towel, some water; of course your iPod and you’re good to go.

You’re going to hike with your MKB or pack on for ten minutes. A trail works best but a track or open field works well. Once your ten minutes is up you’re going to take the kettlebell out of your MKB or pack and perform the following with little to no reset between exercises:

25 snatches per arm
25 cleans per arm
25 swings per arm
25 pushups on the kettlebell
25 bodyweight squats

This totals 200 reps. You’re going to then put your MKB back on and set the timer for another ten minutes. After ten minutes, hit the kettlebell again for another grueling circuit. Perform this circuit at least two times. If you can get more than five in you need a heavier bell!

This workout won’t just leave you a sweaty mess of an athlete but will also build your grip strength and stamina BIG TIME.

Time this workout and try it every few weeks. Aim to beat your time EVERYTIME.

Marcus: This workout looks GREAT! I'll have to save up for one of your backpacks. I've tried using a rolling bowling ball bag to transport my bell, which worked okay for smaller ones. Your Kettleback appears to be well constructed and well thought out. It's on my wish list ;-) Once I have it, I'll do the workout as designed. In the meantime, I'll try to do something similar at the track. I also can't wait for MB45 Advanced! I love the first one!
