A Metabolic Kettlebell Burner

The kettlebell is a great functional training tool to help you build full-body strength and burn fat. And by using the kettlebell in a burner or finisher, you can end your workout with a little extra metabolic benefit!

But what is a Burner?

A burner is a quick circuit or series done at the end of your workout to “burn out” a muscle group or get your blood pumping to help you burn fat. It can be done to complement the muscles worked during your workout or even used to work muscles that you will target with a longer workout on a different day.

So if you want to get better results faster, try adding in a burner to your routine! Grab a kettlebell, set a timer for 5 minutes and try this Metabolic Kettlebell Burner!
