FAQ
Is a 20-minute weight loss workout enough?
Yes. 20 focused minutes with minimal rest is a complete session. Consistency matters more than length: doing this regularly beats an occasional long workout.
How often should I do this weight loss workout?
Aim for 3 to 5 times a week, mixed with daily walking. Increase the level once the current one feels easy.
Can beginners do this workout?
Yes. The beginner version uses easier exercise variations and longer rest. Move at your own pace, and keep good form over speed. Pause the timer whenever you need to.
Do I need any equipment?
A single kettlebell. Most people start with 8–12 kg (18–26 lb) for swings and squats, and some moves use bodyweight only.
