Kettle bell training is different to other training regimes in the sense you are continuously moving a weight quickly so you have a cardiovascular workout plus a strength and bodybuilding session all in one. But unlike conventional training procedures; doing this exercise constantly engages your core which offers you a continuous abdominal workout.
Also there are many abdominal exercises that you can do with a kettlebell and they can be combined with any other routine you may be doing or as a standalone workout. Here are some of the fundamental abdominal exercises that you can do with your KB.
Russian twists: Probably the most well known of all the actual ab moves, the RT's undoubtedly are a great exercise and are also easy to get going with. Sat on a floor, knees bent slightly and just about leaning again holding the kettle bell at the horns you twist one side and delicately place the bell down with out letting go from the handle; then lifting the actual KB again crossing it over ones legs you turn right round towards the opposite side and repeat. It's a great exercise also working the arms and shoulders. Dont forget to lean back far enough to have the abs taut before starting.
Overhead sit-ups: Laying completely flat arms extended above your head and holding the bell from the horns, raise the KB up towards the sky; then once it's directly over your head lift your head and upper back of the ground as if doing a regular sit up and hold a couple of seconds then slowly back to the start ; repeat.
1/2 get ups: Obviously it's the very first half from the TGU. Lying on your floor with the bell one side, roll on your side and take the KB within your hands and press upward with one arm, then all in a singular movement move your back up of the floor so you are sat straight up making sure you keep the KB straight above your head arm locked constantly, then slowly resume to start position and also swap sides and repeat the process.
These are just a few abdominal exercises that you can include in your kettlebell workout routine, you can do them for a set amount on reps or time. Also you can just do the above for 15 minutes continuous as a full ab workout.
