Since the biggest loser started in the UK about 4 weeks ago I have been a massive fan and haven’t missed an episode of this years series so far. Some of the contestants are shifting some big numbers every week. What I have noticed is the contestants are constantly training with russian kettle bells. And the expert trainers on the show are telling us that training with kettlebells is one of the biggest fat burners you can do. A one hour session can burn off around 1500 calories, when I heard this I said to myself I’ve just got to get myself some russian kettle bells.
So the first place I looked was eBay, boy was I in for a stock they do not come cheap your looking at a few hundred quid for just a few kettlebells. So I narrowed my search down and found a guy who lives about 10 miles from me selling a set of four kettlebells a 16kg, 20kg, 24kg and 32kg plus the Kettlebell Bible book which will come in very handy. Because to be perfectly honest with you I know nothing about training with kettlebells. I was lucky enough to win the russian kettle bells and picked them up the same night. Here’s a picture showing you the four kettlebells and the training book.
I haven’t got round to using them yet, but I’ve been reading the book and I have found a few different kettlebell exercises that I think I can easily add into my workout program. The problem with my workout program at the moment is core exercises. Not many of the exercises I do hit the core, and your core is were the majority of your power comes from. To be honest my core is looking a little bit flabby at the moment so I really need to start hitting it hard.
This week diet wise has been another shocker I’m afraid, I managed to lose 4.4 pounds last week. But I will be very surprised if when I step onto my body fat scales in the morning for this weeks weekly weigh in that I haven’t regained all the weight and more. Not only have I been bad diet wise but my workouts have also suffered I just haven’t had the energy all week to train hard like I usually do. I’ve got less than 6 weeks to go till I go to vegas and at this rate I’m going to be going there looking worst than I do now. I’m going to write down a plan and stick to it, by writing it all down this should help to keep me motivated on this long and slow body fat reduction journey.
