Single Kettlebell https://go.chasingstrength.com/kettlebell-burn/ Double Kettlebell https://salutis.kartra.com/page/D9h108 Seriously Hard Double Kettlebell https://cart.chasingstrength.com/hard3b ‘It’s THAT time of year again (OH NO!) 😮 We’re approximately 6 weeks away from the official “launch” of Summer - at least in the Northern Hemisphere - Memorial Day Weekend… Which means, you don’t want to be wearing that “extra winter layer” when it’s time to hit the beach or pool - Know what I mean? The reality is, 6 weeks is still plenty of time to jettison 10… 20… even 30 pounds of extra baggage, depending on how much you have to lose… … With more focus, some perseverance, and knowing the right actions to take, and when to take them. In the next series of videos we’re going to cover the 10 “Fat Loss Mistakes” people make when “trying to lose weight” - especially with kettlebells.

For workouts? Use a “low stress”/ “low tech” one that’s simple and designed to strip off body fat - especially dangerous visceral (stomach) fat - without intensive dieting, like this one. https://go.chasingstrength.com/kettlebell-ghfl-4/ And for food - eating healthy - to give you energy throughout the day so you don’t dig a bigger hole for yourself?
