Kettlebell Cardio Training

A new study came out recently that had subjects undergo a kettlebell snatch workout. Researchers determined the subjects maximum repetitions of kettlebell snatches in one minute, and then perform 1/4 of that for 15 seconds on and 15 seconds off, repeated for 20 minutes, alternating hands each set. (For example if you can do 20 reps in one minute then you would do 5 in 15 seconds.)

The research found that the subjects burned 20.2 calories per minute and reached heart rates of 93% max. Thats 404 calories burned in 20 minutes. Try doing that on the treadmill.

This just goes to show that kettlebell training and interval training based programs take less time and are more effective for cardio training and burning calories than walking or jogging, while placing less stress on the joints.
