Kettlebell Workouts for Fat Loss!

One of my favorite training tools is from Russia with love:

KETTLEBELLS

They offer a unique twist on dumbbells that can add some much needed variety to your training routine.

It's also the best tool for my favorite fat loss exercise: SWINGS

Check out some great circuit training
