"That's it? Really?"

This is what my client texted me when I "prescribed" her unique workout. She's been struggling to exercise consistently due to a very demanding work schedule.

I told her to "stack" two Kettlebell Finishers together. It would take her around 15-20 mins MAX and she'll feel like she did a 60-minute workout only without feeling "beat up" because she didn't pound her joints.

The second finisher is what made her say, "That's it? Really?" in the text she sent me.

Here it was...

• 1-Arm Kettlebell Swings (5/side) 
• Bodysaw (5)
• Rest 15 secs 

Do this 8 times.

Here's the nerdy science behind if that's your thing...

Any time you use a single kettlebell, you're instantly making your core (lower belly, mid/upper belly, and even your "love handles") work more effectively due to the imbalance of weight.

Now that your core is "pre-fatigued", your stomach will work even more effectively to complete the Bodysaw exercise. And because you're going back and forth between the two exercises so quickly (only 5 reps), it brings a new stimulus your body isn't used to.

That means your body has to work to return to "homeostasis" (sciency word for "normal"). This burns more calories, even while you work, watch TV, etc.

So you can simply "tag on" a Kettlebell Finisher to your favorite routine OR you can "stack" 2 of them together for a short, but extremely effective workout. If you're feeling crazy, you can stack 3... but this is for advanced folks only :) 

Here's more unusual routines for targeting belly fat.

To training smart,
