Are you curious about the most effective kettlebell exercises for abs?
A recent study conducted by Bret Contreras has provided some interesting insights.
Over 50 ab exercises were put to the test, and the results demonstrated which ones worked best.
I’ll link out at the bottom of this article where you can read about the full results, but the winners for an all-around program that targets the abs, obliques, and low back where:
- Turkish Get Ups
- Chin ups, Hanging Leg Raises, or Swiss Ball Crunches
- RKC Plank, Ab Wheel Rollout, or Bodysaw
- Kneeling Cable Lift, Tornado Ball Slam, Landmine, or Reverse Hyper
The trick is, not everyone is able to do these exercises because of equipment limitations etc. So what we do in KETTLEBELL ABOCOLYPSE is take the principles, and adapt them so that you can use KETTLEBELLS!
Take the “Abdominal Armageddon” workout for example:
Do the prescribed number of reps of exercise one. Rest 15 seconds. Do the prescribed number of reps of exercise two. Rest 15 seconds. Continue in the same fashion to complete the full circuit; rest for 30-60 seconds and repeat two more times for a total of three rounds:
— Turkish Get Up – 1 / side
— Lying Kettlebell-Anchored Leg Drops – 10 (min 2-sec negative)
— RKC Plank – :20 hold
— Single-Arm KB Swing – 7 per side
