30 Minute HIIT Kettlebell Workouts for Fat Loss & Strength

what’s up hazmat tribe it’s your personal trainer coach Kozak and I’m Claudia and this is a kettlebell workout we’re gonna perform today’s workout Tabata style so that means we’re gonna do four back-to-back rounds of each exercise that’s 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest well we’ll be using a few different kettle bells today this routine only requires one kettlebell you can follow along with me for the standard moves and you can follow me for some easier modifications if you’re ready to go let’s get this thing started [Music] [Music] all right we’re getting started with the warmup first one on today’s list is a push-pull plus butt kick we’re gonna get your heart rate up gain a little extra mobility at the same time and raise that overall body temperature we’re pushing out and then pulling back on the elbows stepping side to side bringing that heel back to your glute this is a good one because we’re warming up multiple body parts just here in this one move very ficient warm-up exercise making sure you’re moving at a warm-up pace will be plenty of time and the workout to push it in nice controlled breathing going pulling back from those elbows this one’s warming up those hamstrings quadriceps shoulders back and chest all at the same time hitting this one four five four three two one and zero all right shake it loose next we’re gonna move into an opposite side toe touch arms are up overhead feet are a little wider than shoulder width apart we’re gonna reach down and touch either opposite side toe opposite side chin or knee whatever you can reach you got a slight bend in those knees that we’re driving the hips back stretching that posterior chain which is our hamstrings our glutes and our lower back stand up big and tall and between every repetition and again just moving at a warmup pace here try to keep your head in line with your spine so that means you’re not looking up as you go down but instead keeping that head in line with your back feeling that stretch in the back of your legs and in your glutes as you’re going down trying to push that butt back behind you again keep that nice consistent breathing going let’s do this one four five four three two one and zero all right you can choose between these two moves on the next one I’m gonna do a faux jump rope so I’m jumping up and down light on the balls of my feet and I’m just doing a simple run in place if you want to do the lower impact version feel free to go with Claudia’s move or if you don’t mind a little impact you can do my but you can switch in between the two that’s it whatever feels most comfortable and we encourage you to do that throughout today’s routine choosing which move works for you along the way so that so that may mean half the time you’re doing my moves other half the time you’re doing Claudius that’s right either wasting light on the balls of your feet making light ground contacts to halfs neighbors underneath you we don’t want them to hear you you’re that nice consistent breathing going not much left on this last warm up move and five four three two one zero warm up complete the Showtime ready to go I’m ready hold it ready out there go ahead and start with your one kettlebell we’re gonna start with a one arm swing so feet are just a little bit wider than shoulder width toes are pointed out slight bend in those knees we’re gonna hike a kettlebell between our legs as we drive those hips back and then forward squeezing our glutes up at the top so again it’s four rounds twenty seconds of work ten seconds of rest and those 10 seconds of rest are gonna fly by it’s gonna be good one let’s get it going and three two one zero hips back hips forward this one is all about using those hips as a hinge and not turning it into a squat so we’re almost trying to stretch that butt back to the wall behind us as we bend over keeping her head in line with our spine and three two one and break alright go ahead and switch hands we’re gonna end up doing two sets on each side oh here you guys in two one begin so hips back hips forward really focus on squeezing those gluts up at the top standing up big and tall don’t need to hyperextend and come back but instead stand straight up squeeze those glutes that’s right don’t feel like you need to hyperextend your lower back just to squeeze those glutes that’s it make the gluts work and three two one break excellent oh all right two down two to go we’re gonna get that heart rate up fast with this one yes yes I feel it in three two one begin that’s it if any time during course of today’s workout you need to switch up your weight feel free to do so you’ll notice we’re using a couple different kettlebell weights throughout it’s a burning already I don’t know that’s a good thing or a bad thing oh it’s always a good thing and three two one break there it is three down one to go getting that pace going right from the start here has two tried alright guys here we go in three two one begin right into it squeeze those boots up with the top hips back hips boy just maintaining that slight bend in the knee again don’t turn it into a squat on the way down but instead really using those hips as a hinge in five four three two one break alright cross that first one off the list next we’re moving into either a one leg stiff leg deadlift or a kickstand deadlift either way we’re starting in a kickstand stance feet are shoulder width apart one foot it’s about one foot length back I’m gonna bend over using my hips again as a hinge keeping this leg straight and then I’m gonna pull standing straight back up so from my variation I’m just leaving my foot my right foot back bending down into a stiff leg deadlift and coming right back up you decide which variation is right for you two on each side here we go and three two one begin and while we are trying to get as many reps in as we can a lot of time period we want you to maintain control throughout that’s right you only do so as you can do it safely and maintaining proper form that’s right it’s all about good form feel that stretch in the back of your leg and then squeeze the gluts three five two one and break alright we’re gonna switch sides now same setup just go ahead and flip it all right guys let’s down time beginning here in three two one again either way we’re keeping a slight bend in that lead leg and then the NIA that lead leg I should say stretching that hamstrings in the glutes and then squeezing them as you come up top so notice I’m squeezing right here in this position again we definitely don’t want to see you hyper extending that lumbar lower back region and two one break excellent alright switching it up that’s two down two to go and I already have a little sweat going which is probably not surprising I only got a sweat alright guys into one begin nobody’s surprised by that no that’s true nobody who’s been here for a while yeah keeping your back straight head stays in line with your spine focus on that tight core you got that hamstring glute lower back and 3-8 them together two one and break all right no more three down one to go see how fast he’s go that’s it that’s what I like that the bot is they just keep it moving alright beginning in two one begin all right right into it and you may find that one leg is a little better at these than the other that’s alright that’s why we’re here practicing it’s a great unilateral move to balance out any imbalances that all right guys not much longer and three two one and break all right we’re gonna move on to an upper-body master two hands at a time we’re gonna do a kettlebell press so go ahead and grab that kettlebell with a catcher’s grip feet shoulder-width apart it’s all upper body going straight up pressing overhead bring it all the way back down we don’t wanna get your legs involved at all in this one just all shoulders chest and triceps drinked press here we are in three two one begin and again it’s 20 seconds giving as many repetitions in as you can and you can choose if you want to go little heavier on this one and get less reps we’ll go lighter go for more a high rep range totally

that core so this one not just about moving your upper body back and forth but I actually rotate it your core yep all right here we are come on keep that energy up and three two one zero can you decide if you want your feet down feet up or you need to make it harder and do a bicycle at the same time you decide which variation is right for you today making sure you’re staying lean back on that 45 throughout the move and two one break that’s the two ways that you’ll cheat and you shouldn’t alright by sitting up and just by moving your hands make sure your back and rotating at your core and begin come on one right into the next and if your abs are done with holding that kettlebell you know we set the kettlebell down and just keep up the twist or set your feet down and move to an easier

finish strong fight fight fight right there with you almost there come on let’s go let’s go [Music] five four three two one zero and that is it you made it has all he wrote is in love Oh show you some love out there all right we’re gonna move into a cool-down and allow your heart rate to come down slowly at the same time we’re gonna gain a little bit mobility and flexibility you can stay down on the ground stay where you’re at we’re gonna do a lying angel so I can keep your feet flat on the ground I’m gonna extend your arms the best you can straight up overhead now we’re gonna pull down on those elbows trying to keep your hands upper arms and elbows on the ground at the same time far down as you can and then reverse it extend straight up overhead we’re trying to keep our arms or head upper back and lower back all flat on the ground this one who really expose any weaknesses and mobility you may have from your back to your shoulders trying your best to keep everything on the ground as you drag those hands and arms pulling down on your elbows nice and controlled movements not a race on this one the race is all done taking some nice big deep breaths along the way our shoulders got a lot of work in today and this is a great recovery move for them it’s a great one to do just any time also great for improving your posture we spend a lot of time hunched over at a desk looking at your phone driving etc great one to help you regain that upright posture and don’t be surprised if one arm is a little more flexible than the other very common trying to finish every time straight up overhead working through any little kinks you may have keeping a move in here let’s go for five four three two one zero excellent okay next we’re gonna do a knee to chest so go insert with both legs out straight we’re gonna bring one knee up go ahead and pull on that one knee keeping your opposite side leg down flat pull back on that knee stretching as far as you can comfortably and any of these static stretches are trying to go to about eighty five ninety percent of what you’re capable of feel good stretch but you don’t want to induce any real pain just pulling back this was great to loosen up your lower back hips glutes all at the same time again try and keep that opposite side leg flat now we’re going to transition into a lying knee crossover take that same side knee and now we’re gonna pull it across and back at the same trying trying to keep your upper back flat on the ground as you do so hope you guys in here all those pops from what I heard a major scrap about it something’s work there and that’s totally common I guess another great one for your hips and lower back pulling back also good one if you experience any sciatic pain up here in your piriformis oh yeah that’ll you’ll really feel it there stretching that hip just hold and breathe concentrate on bringing that heart rate down and return that leg back to the floor okay same move opposite side now let’s go and start with just bringing that knee up knee to your chest or the best you can if the best you can is here you or you need to sit up and pull it here that’s okay too again I encourage you to make this move your own just keep that opposite side leg flat you start bringing it up a society leg up it really eliminates the stretch so try your best to keep it straight and flat on the ground nice big deep breaths good opportunity here to just take a second and be proud of what you’ve achieved so far today working out were easy everybody be fit and you know I say it all the time but it bears repeating this is a big deal that you keep showing up and putting in the work it’s hard never gets easier you just get better at it let’s pull that same side knee across again feeling that stretch in your hips everybody wants to hear that all I have to get into the groove it’s just easy and it takes over and I’m not here to we’re not here to lie to you I’ve been at it for a long time and it still always takes some extra motivation to get moving but you’re here and you’re putting in the work I mean something big deep breaths here four five four three two one zero and return okay you can go ahead and sit up to start the next one we’re gonna move into a sprinter stretch and now we’re going to stretch out those quadriceps and show you a couple different variations on this one start with this the easiest version which is just to bring that leg back and you can stay upright now the more you lean back the harder we’ll get or if you need more stretch you can tuck that leg underneath what Claudia is going to show you and then lean back or you can go all the way down to the floor and you decide which variation is right for you today my quads got a lot of work in today so do what feels right feels good don’t do something that’s gonna hurt you it’s just not worth it no which is why I came back up usually it’s like the start of a workout go down a little further by the end okay yeah we’re good and that’s what it’s all about is knowing your own limitations none of us are perfect we’re here just putting in the work trying to get a little bit better every day we’re all gonna have our own strengths and weaknesses just putting in the work to get better at those weaknesses and not ignoring them flexibility is definitely a weakness for me so something I’m gonna work on and let’s go ahead and sit up in three two one switching sides well you know it’s eight sometimes it can get easier go ahead and switch sides opposite side leg it’d be easier to get motivated to do the actual workout but for a lot of us would take some extra patience to put in the the flexibility and the mobility work but it’s just so important not to overlook you know that’s how those chronic injuries happen and chronic pain chronic pains oh my hip hurts my knees hurt my shoulders hurt and I don’t know why well how about workout all the time well you may work out but you may not be doing the recovery aspect so I experienced most of that when I was a runner yep very true very common oh my hips were always in pain or my knees were in pain this cos is so easy as a runner just to get out at the road you’re running come back and be done yeah not really putting in the mobility definitely not just holding this one here four five four three two one zero sitting up and that’s it we made it oh
