WRITTEN BY MAX WOLF  

THE KETTLEBELL SIT-UP IS A KILLER ABDOMINAL EXERCISE THAT REQUIRES A LOT MORE STRENGTH AND ENERGY THAN YOUR TYPICAL BODYWEIGHT SIT-UP.

TIPS

Step 1: Start in a lying position with your knees bent and your heels on the ground (do not secure your feet) and with kettlebell between both hands, hooking your thumbs inside the handle and grabbing the “ball” part of the kettlebell.

Step 2: Press the kettlebell directly over your chest and keep your arms straight with unlocked elbows.Perform a sit up by activating your core; try to pull your bellybutton into your body towards your spine. Roll up slowly keeping your eyes on the kettlebell.

Step 3: Sit up straight at the top of the rep, then slowly roll back down. The kettlebell sit up can also be performed with a count up or down for additional difficulty.
