Speed Fitness – 2 Great Exercises to Get in Shape Fast!

In order to get fit as fast as possible you have to train with a purpose. There is no better way to this than to train with kettlebells. Training with kettlebells is about the fastest way you can get in shape and I have included 2 intense kettlebell exercises here to help you progress as quick as possible.

1. The Dual Bell Clean And Jerk: For this particular exercise you will have to have a pair of moderately heavy bells of equal weight. Set them on the ground between your feet. Begin the lift by properly squatting to grab the kettlebells and clean them to your chest. Once you have properly racked the bells at your chest immediately perform a push press or jerk in order to press and lock the bells out overhead. Now the key is to snap or pop the hips and knees to assist you in vertically driving the kettlebells up above your head. Make sure to lock out your elbows and secure your shoulders into the sockets. Finish by lowering the bells the same way as you got them up.

2. The Dual Kettlebell Swings: Once again you will need a pair of moderately heavy bells of equal weight. For this exercise you will place the bells on the ground between your feet. Squat to pick up the bells (one in each hand) and then start to swing the kettlebells up to chest level. Your stance may need to be slightly wider than when you perform a normal single bell double arm swing. Make sure to perform the hip snap by flexing and extending at both your hips and knees in a constant motion. You will quickly find that you will really have to fight against the force of being pulled forward. Don’t allow it. Perform 20 to 30 reps of these at first until you get used to handling both bells and then progress. This is one of the best exercises for you to get fit fast. Swinging 2 bells independently in each arm is very exerting and will challenge you quicker than you realize. Take the time to incorporate both of these drills into your own program. You will be getting back into shape in no time!
