I put together a great Kettlebell Fat Loss Workout video for you below. The beauty of this workout is that it should only take you about 12 minutes to complete!
This workout is something similar to what I did over the weekend when I was pressed for time.
We brought my oldest up to volleyball camp yesterday and it ended up being a 10-hour ordeal (3.5 hours to get there, 3.5 hours to get back in traffic, plus lunch, bathroom breaks, etc, etc), if you have kids you’ll know what I mean.
I had an uncharacteristic sleep-in yesterday morning and so I needed a quick and intense kettlebell fat loss workout to get me started. So after a thorough warm-up, I did a workout like the one I outline below (except instead of 1-arm swings I did kettlebell snatches instead).
For me this was a complete workout because it started off with Turkish Get Ups to my body moving the right way.
Check the video out below and let me know what you think
A 12 Minute Kettlebell Fat Loss Workout…
This kettlebell fat loss workout is meant to give you a full body workout in the least amount of time possible.
I started off with the Turkish Get Up because it’s probably the best all-around kettlebell exercise for health anywhere. I’d be surprised to see another exercise out there that combines shoulder & ab stability and hip mobility, single leg strength and coordination in one exercise.
If you want to read more about why I love the Turkish Get-Up you can check out my article HERE…
The Turkish Get-Up: The KING of Kettlebell Exercises
After that, the circuit features an upper body, abdominal and lower body exercise all held together with 1-arm kettlebell swings.
Give this kettlebell fat loss workout a try sometime this week when you’re pressed for time and let me know what you think. I’ll have another 12-minute workout for you again next week.

Great work Chris!
Just goes to show; its the intensity, not duration, that counts.
I have several clients who have ” enjoyed” sub 10 minute workouts ( after a thorough warm up ) after arriving late to their training session. Funny; they tend not to be late that often afterwards!!

Chris, there are few emails I subscribe to that I ALWAYS look at or read, but your posts are ones I check out every time, and they never disappoint. I never would have performed Turkish get-ups correctly without your clear description. I always try your workouts as you present them, at least once, and they are always sooo good! Intense and effective. Keep ‘em coming!

Chris:
Do you recommend using the same weight for the whole workout?

Hi Todd
Yes, for simplicity purposes, I would just use a single KB. You can switch it up if you like, but I’ve been using 12-minute workouts like this as “travel” workouts where I can only bring one kettlebell.
