Are you looking to step up your in home cardio exercise routine? If you are serious about improving your physical conditioning and drastically elevating your cardiovascular fitness then the following 2 exercises are just what you need to make it happen right in the comfort of your own home. Read on if I have your attention.

1. Kettlebell Thrusters: This particular exercise will require you to have the availability of either a single or a pair of kettlebells to pull it off. For this particular exercise you will have to be somewhat used to the different feel and design of handling the ancient kettlebell. If you are not then don’t be discouraged because this can be corrected rather quickly. To begin the kettlebell thrusters simply place the bell or bells on the ground between your feet with your feet at distance sightly wider than shoulder width apart. From here properly execute the clean lift and rack the bell(s) at your chest. Make sure that your arm is securely resting next to your body and supporting the weight and stability of the bell. From here execute a front squat and lower yourself to a depth so that your elbow(s) touch the insides of your knees. This will ensure a good squat depth for the exercise. As you ascend up out of the squat simply lock out your hip and knees and execute an overhead press with the bell(s) to lock them out overhead. Once you lock out the press then simply lower the bell(s) back to your chest to the racked position in order to set yourself up for another squat to start the combination lift all over again. To really intensify the conditioning element of this exercise try to execute timed sets. For instance, try doing as many thrusters as possible within a 30 second time limit. This is one of the best cardio workout routines you can do!

2. Kettlebell Squat Jumps: For this particular drill you will need the availability of a pair of fairly light kettlebells and a flat open space that is good for jumping. To perform this exercise you will want to pick up the bells by holding one in each hand. From here stand with your feet at shoulder width distance apart in length. Allow the bells to hang by your side. Next, simply flex at your hips and knees to lower yourself to a depth so that you can effectively execute a jump as you ascend up out of the squat. When you flex then immediately and explosively extend at both your hip and knees in order to elevate your feet off of the ground in one smooth motion. As you come back down make sure to land heel to toe and to absorb the impact of landing by allowing your hips and knees to recoil by flexing again in order to perform another jump. Make sure to keep your shoulders retracted and hold the bells down by your sides with your arms straight. Execute each jump in rapid succession for the desired number of reps. This is a serious cardio routine for weight loss and to achieve an optimal level of fitness. Remember that most anyone can train hard, but only the best train smart my friend!
