How to Rapidly Burn Belly Fat with Kettlebell Swings
Swing your flab away.
Imagine there was an exercise that would solve 99% of the problems caused by your sedentary lifestyle. An exercise that strengthens your weak back gives you an aesthetic ass and makes your abs pop.

Well, then, let me introduce you to the hardstyle kettlebell swing.
Why the Kettlebell Swing Is the Perfect Fat-Loss Exercise
The kettlebell swing is a compound exercise, which means you are working multiple muscle groups at once. Other examples of compound exercises are squats or rows.
Common to all of these movements is the use of multiple joints. The opposite of a compound exercise is an isolation exercise, where you target specific muscles and use only one joint. The bicep curl, which isolates the biceps and involves just the elbow joint, is an example of an isolation exercise.
If you want to lose body fat, compound exercises are your best bet. Because you’ll use more muscles than during isolation exercises, you’ll burn more calories during your workout and use your workout time most efficiently.
Besides, compound movements build muscle and strength faster than isolation exercises, and the more muscle mass you have, the more calories you burn at rest.
The kettlebell swing is especially great for burning fat because it is a compound movement that includes your upper and lower body and hence works almost every muscle.
