KETTLEBELL MMA WORKOUT - VOL 3

I figure with the start of the Ultimate Fighter with KIMBO SLICE and UFC 103 coming up, I would post another MMA workout. I found one hiding in the archives.

This is a kettlebell workout that is more advanced. It uses some tougher exercises that you will need to master, or at least feel comfortable doing. It taxes your conditioning and overall body strength, something fighters are always working on. No need to do cardio after this workout baby.

Using kettlebells to ramp up muscular endurance is perfect for killer MMA battles. Doing high rep sets of kettlebell swings, snatches, and clean and jerks is a great way to burn fat and increase your conditioning.

The ballistic exercises work your body as one unit and require a great deal of hard work. The harder you work the more calories you burn.

MMA emphasis on functional strength and using kettlebells when you workout will help you to achieve this, unlike weight training that is more static movements, especially if you use machines.

For the regular person, who is not interested in a Battle Royale, kettlebells are an optimum piece of equipment, especially if you’re looking to increase strength and burn fat fast. The more muscles you use during a certain exercise, the stronger you become and the more muscles you will build.

With this kettlebell workout you are going to use interval training, switching between skipping and kettlebell exercises.

Each interval is one minute (1:1) - that's one minute skipping followed by one minute of the kettlebell exercise - the skipping is counted as your active rest between the kettlebell sets, but you will soon find out that it still hits your cardiovascular endurance.

I use this workout or similar circuits twice a week. It keeps me conditioned and as I keep going I’m feeling stronger everyday. At 40 you want to look good too.


This workout takes a total of 20 minutes. That means you are in and out of the gym in 30 minutes. You targeted full body strength and conditioning, cardio and core - DONE, DONE AND DONE!

That's after you peel yourself off the floor. I died after this one.
