Kettlebell training has some famous advocates, including Sylvester Stallone, Matthew McConaughey Christian Bale as well as toned actresses and pop stars including Penelope Cruz, Jennifer Aniston, Madonna and Geri Halliwell.

Not only that but top sports clubs including Chelsea FC, Liverpool FC and rugby teams New Zealand and England and leading athletes including James Haskell and Usain Bolt all include kettlebell training in their workout at one point or another.

But you're looking to drop a dress size quickly. Can kettlebell training help? Well it appears so.

Unlike normal weight training where slow and controlled movements are required kettlebell training requires the user to move the kettlebells from point A to point B as quickly as possible and with as much momentum as you can muster. This means twisting, hurling, jump and practically throwing the kettlebells around the gym to activate as many as 600 muscles per rep!

Many top personal trainers and sports coaches suggest that while a normal barbell and dumbbell resistance workout can burn up to 400 calories per workout a kettlebell programme can burn as many as 1500 per session!
