Ladies,
get
ready
for
a
core
workout
that’ll
have
your
abs
feeling
the
burn
for
days!
You’ve
been
crushing
the
kettlebell
routines,
and
I
couldn’t
be
more
excited
to
bring
you
a
workout
that’s
all
about
targeting
the
abs.
Because,
let’s
face
it,
who
doesn’t
love
a
strong
core,
right?
And
bonus—this
workout
will
also
crank
up
your
heart
rate,
so
you’re
getting
double
the
benefits:
sculpting
your
midsection
and
burning
those
extra
calories!
Now,
if
you’re
someone
who
doesn’t
have
a
kettlebell
on
hand,
no
stress
at
all—you
can
use
a
dumbbell
and
still
get
all
the
same
amazing
results.
Ready
to
feel
the
burn?
Let’s
get
into
it!
Here’s
What
You’ll
Need
-
A
Kettlebell (or
a
dumbbell,
if
you
don’t
have
one) -
Yoga
Mat for
a
comfy
surface -
Water
(because
hydration
is
a
must!) -
And,
of
course,
a
positive
mindset
ready
to
slay!
The
Kettlebell
Ab
Workout
We’re
going
to
hit
all
the
key
areas—upper
abs,
lower
abs,
and
those
sneaky
obliques!
1.
Kettlebell
Halo
This
move
is
a
game-changer
for
those
obliques.
-
Stand
with
your
feet
about
hip-width
apart. -
Hold
the
kettlebell
by
the
base,
wrapping
your
palms
around
the
handles. -
Lift
the
kettlebell
overhead,
bending
your
elbows
to
bring
it
behind
your
head. -
Circle
it
around
your
head
in
a
controlled
manner,
using
your
core
to
rotate
slightly. -
Do
10
circles
in
one
direction,
then
reverse
for
another
10.
Pro
Tip: Make
sure
you’re
engaging
your
abs
throughout
the
movement—it’s
easy
to
let
the
shoulders
take
over,
but
keep
your
core
tight
and
in
control!
2.
Windmill
The
windmill
is
such
a
powerhouse
for
the
obliques
and
lower
abs.
Plus,
it
works
on
your
shoulder
stability.
-
Hold
the
kettlebell
in
your
right
hand,
directly
over
your
shoulder. -
Step
your
feet
slightly
wider
than
shoulder-width,
with
your
left
knee
and
toes
turned
out. -
Hinge
at
your
hips,
pressing
your
hips
to
the
right,
while
you
slide
your
left
hand
down
the
inside
of
your
left
leg. -
Press
back
up
using
your
obliques
on
the
right
side. -
Complete
15
reps
with
the
right
arm
up,
then
switch
sides.
Keep
your
eyes
on
the
kettlebell—it’ll
help
you
stay
balanced
and
stable
during
the
movement.
3.
Kettlebell
Roll
Up
Ready
for
a
killer
move
that’ll
challenge
your
entire
core?
Roll-ups
with
a
kettlebell
do
just
that.
-
Lie
on
your
back,
holding
the
kettlebell
with
both
hands
at
the
base,
palms
wrapped
around
the
handle. -
Press
the
kettlebell
straight
up
above
your
chest,
legs
extended
out
straight. -
Engage
your
abs
and
roll
up,
pressing
the
kettlebell
up
to
the
sky
as
you
reach
a
seated
position. -
Slowly
roll
back
down
with
control,
and
repeat.
Pro
Tip: The
slower
you
roll
down,
the
more
your
abs
have
to
work.
So,
take
it
slow
on
the
descent
for
maximum
burn!
4.
Kettlebell
Twists
Nothing
hits
the
obliques
like
a
good
ol’
Russian
twist
with
some
added
kettlebell
weight.
-
Sit
on
your
tailbone,
holding
the
kettlebell
in
both
palms. -
If
you
can,
lift
your
heels
off
the
mat
to
balance,
or
keep
them
on
the
ground
if
that’s
more
comfortable. -
Twist
your
torso
to
the
right,
bringing
the
kettlebell
to
your
side,
then
rotate
to
the
left. -
Keep
alternating
sides
for
30
seconds.
If
you’re
feeling
fancy,
add
a
pulse
at
each
side
for
an
extra
challenge!
5.
Kettlebell
Crunch
Finish
off
the
round
with
a
traditional
crunch,
but
level
it
up
by
adding
a
kettlebell
for
resistance.
-
Lie
on
your
back
with
your
legs
extended
straight
up
to
the
sky. -
Hold
the
kettlebell
over
your
chest
with
straight
arms. -
Curl
up,
reaching
your
arms
toward
your
toes. -
Slowly
lower
back
down,
keeping
the
legs
lifted
the
whole
time,
and
repeat.
It’s
not
about
how
fast
you
go—it’s
about
control.
Keep
the
movements
slow
and
intentional,
focusing
on
squeezing
those
abs.
How
to
Structure
the
Workout
Here’s
how
I
recommend
you
tackle
this
ab-blasting
routine:
-
Perform
each
exercise for
the
recommended
reps
(or
time). -
Rest for
20-30
seconds
between
exercises. -
After
you’ve
completed
all
five
moves,
rest
for
about
a
minute. -
Repeat
the
entire
circuit 3-4
times depending
on
how
spicy
you
want
to
make
it.
Trust
me—by
the
third
round,
you’ll
feel
the
fire
in
every
muscle
of
your
core!
Make
It
Your
Own
I
love
how
adaptable
kettlebell
workouts
are.
If
you
want
more
of
a
challenge,
you
can
increase
the
weight
of
your
kettlebell
or
add
more
reps.
On
days
when
you’re
feeling
sore
(and
believe
me,
after
a
few
rounds
of
this
workout,
you
will
be!),
you
can
opt
for
lighter
weights
or
fewer
rounds.
For
those
of
you
who
are
beginners,
start
slow.
Keep
the
weight
light
and
focus
on
form
first—quality
over
quantity.
And,
if
you
want
an
extra
challenge,
well,
you
know
what
to
do:
crank
up
the
weight
or
add
in
some
bonus
reps!
Why
Kettlebells
for
Abs?
Kettlebells
are
magic
for
core
workouts
because
they
engage
multiple
muscles
at
once.
Unlike
standard
crunches,
kettlebell
movements
target
upper
and
lower
abs,
obliques,
and
the
deep
core
muscles
that
hold
everything
together.
The
best
part?
You
don’t
just
lie
on
the
floor
doing
endless
crunches.
Instead,
you’re
working
in
different
planes
of
motion,
keeping
things
dynamic
and,
dare
I
say,
fun!
Plus,
since
you’re
constantly
stabilizing
the
kettlebell,
your
heart
rate
naturally
spikes,
giving
you
some
extra
cardio
to
go
along
with
your
ab
work.
Can’t
argue
with
that!
Wrapping
It
Up
Ladies,
I
know
you’re
going
to
crush
this
kettlebell
ab
workout.
It’s
one
of
those
routines
that’s
tough
but
oh-so-rewarding.
You’ll
feel
it
deep
in
your
core
for
days
afterward—and
that’s
how
you
know
it’s
working!
If
you
enjoyed
this
workout,
be
sure
to
share
it
with
your
friends
or

other
kettlebell
routines

blast!
Let’s
get
strong
together!
