Kettlebell Exercise for Abs: the “Full Body Attack”

Kettlebells are here to stay!

In addition to being an amazing tool for full-body workouts, KBs are perfect for working your abs, too.

Pretty much all of the main kettlebell moves, including:

  • Get Ups
  • Squats
  • Swings
  • Snatches
  • Cleans
  • Presses

ALL light up your core.

But if you want to try something new – that will shoot your heart rate through the roof, burn a ton of calories, and hit your abs HARD, all at the same time – try the Kettlebell Full Body Attack:

1 – You are going to need two kettlebells. Pick the heaviest KBs you can use safely and with good form. The reason being, when you are doing a renegade row or a push up or anything with your hands on the ‘bells, they can get a little bit unstable if your weight is really light. That’s because all of your weight is supported on the bottom of the ‘bell, which is really small.

2 – Get both hands on the ‘bells, hop your feet back. Row on the right. Make sure when you do that row you transfer your weight over and get in a nice plank and use the muscles in the back to do the row. Now do a row on the left. Then hop the feet forward.

3 – From here you have to adjust your hands a little bit and turn the handles in. It’s not going to be like a Russian swing to clean, it’s just going to be from a dead stop.

4 – Go from right here, snap the hips, weights up to the clean position. From here, adjust your feet a little bit, do a squat up to an overhead press. You can add in an optional push up if you want to make it more difficult. Repeat that for reps.
