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 can be done with a kettle bell and they might be combined with other routines you might be doing or as a seperate workout. Here are some of the fundamental abdominal exercises that can be done with your KB.
Russian twists: Probably the most common of all the ab moves, the RT's are a great exercise and are easy to master. Sat on the floor, knees bent slightly and just about leaning back holding the kettle bell by the horns you twist to one side and lightly place the kettle bell down without letting go of the handle; then lifting the KB again passing it over your legs you twist right round to the opposite side and repeat. It's a real mean exercise that also works the biceps and forearms. Make sure you lean back far enough to feel the abs tense before you start.
Overhead sit-ups: Laying completely flat arms stretched out above your head and holding the bell by the horns, raise the KB up towards the ceiling; then once its directly over your head lift your head and upper back of the floor and hold for a few seconds then slowly back to the start position; repeat.
Half get ups: As the name suggests it's the 1st half of the TGU. Lying on a floor with the bell one side, roll over and take the KB in your hands and press up over head with one arm, then sit up in a single motion keeping the KB straight above your head arm locked constantly, then slowly resume to start position and swap arms and do it again.
These are only a few of the many abdominal exercises you might include within your kettle bell program, you can try doing them for a fixed amount off reps or specific time frame. Also you may do the aforementioned for 15 minutes making it a full abdominal kettlebell workout routine.
