How to do Kettlebell Russian Twist

Back to Exercises

Difficulty: Medium

Impact Level: Low

Target Body Parts: abs, lower back, quadriceps

Instructions

Start in a seated position on the floor, with your legs bent in front of you. Hold the kettlebell in both hands. Engage your core by pulling your belly button in towards your spine and tensing your abs. Then lean back with a straight spine, keeping your feet on the floor. Hold this position and make sure you don’t collapse into your lower back, then rotate your upper body slowly from side to side so the kettlebell comes close to ground. Rotate from your core and not just your arms. Perform this side to side rotation of the upper body with steady control for the required duration.
