“System Six Fat Loss” by Josh Hillis, RKC level 2 There is a nice trailer for this program here:http://systemsixeasyfatloss.com/Source: digital download from website aboveAirdate: (publish date) 2011Uploader’s comment:I heard about Josh Hillis through “The RKC Book of Strength and Conditioning”.  Of the 41 workouts listed, Hillis’s workout “Fighter workouts for fat loss” is one of only 2 that mention the fat loss in it’s title (The other workout was Franz Snideman and Yoana Teran’s “The revolution fat blast workout”). Certainly every workout in that book will help fat loss, but I figured that the trainers within the top kettlebell community that are specifically focused on fat loss will be my best bet for losing a few pounds (few = 20-30).  Having only briefly flipped through this material, one thing that jumped out is that there are workouts designed for using two kettlebells, even if the KBs are different sizes.  I’ve seen 2 KB workouts other places, but the instructor used KBs of the same size.  It seemed like a waste to me to buy a second KB of the same size instead of having a variety of sizes.  Right now I have a light, a medium and a heavy (for me:  25, 40, 65 pounds) KB. I can do Hillis’s workouts with my light and medium KB together (as described in 5a-two kettlebell fat loss), switching arms each set, and this adds extra core stabilization to each workout.  All the System Six workouts can be done with 2, 1, or 0 KBs-there are instructions for KB only, body weight only, and body weight / KB combined workouts.      The System 6 files included are:0-Start here map.pdf1-quickstart workouts2-systemsixcardio3-quickstart food4-system six easy fat loss (this is the bodyweight and KB program)5a-two kettlebell fat loss5b-bodyweight fat loss-bus bench blast-system six food plan grid-System Six swing videos-what kettlebell to buy (men)-what kettlebell to buy (women)-workout log system six strength-workout log system six volumeThere’s also a chapter section by Dan John, who seems to have had a big imact on the System Six program:W H E R E T H I S P R O G R A M C A M E F R O MI call them “Blast Workouts” and “Easy Fat Loss Workouts” but it came from Dan John’s “Bus Bench Workouts” and “Park Bench Workouts”. This entire concept for System Six and smart easy fat loss workouts came from a conversation I had with Senior RKC and world famous coach Dan John. In fact, everything about long term fat loss for my clients clicked that day. In other words, I’m hella stoked Dan shared “Bus Bench” vs. “Park Bench” with me. Here is the chapter he wrote about the concept, reprinted with permission:P A R K B E N C H W O R K O U T SBy Daniel John(see 4-system six easy fat loss.pdf for this whole article)
