Kettlebell Training Burns 1200 Calories Per Hour?

Ok, so people have been making wild claims about how many calories per hour you can burn with kettlebell training.

I know kettlebell  training works, and even I was skeptical.

But recently ACE (The American Council on Exercise) was so concerned about these claims, they decided to do a study on the calorie burn of kettlebell training.

ACE is one of the oldest and most respected fitness research and certifying bodies in the United Sates.  And they’re ultra conservative, they don’t do fads, they don’t do gimmicks…  they – they don’t even do new or cutting edge!  They’re oldschool.  They want proof.

They’re kind of like a fitness Consumer Reports.

And their studies are so well documented, that the FTC uses their studies to know who to prosecute for fraud.

In other words, if they say it, it’s real deal.

They’re study on the calorie burn of kettlebell training blew me away.

Dr. John Porcari, leader of the study, said this. “So they were burning at least 20.2 calories per minute, which is off the charts. That’s equivalent to running a 6-minute mile pace. The only other thing I could find that burns that many calories is crosscountry skiing up hill at a fast pace.”

That’s 1200 calories per hour y’all.

And that doesn’t even include the afterburn.

I knew kettlebell  training was awesome, I didn’t know it was that awesome.

But it totally explains the results people get.
