Kettle bell training is unique in the sense you are continuously moving using a weight at a fast speed so you have a cardiovascular workout in addition to a strength and body building session. But in contrast to conventional training procedures; doing this type of exercise constantly engages the core which ultimately give you rock hard abdominal with continual use.
Also there are numerous abdominal exercises that you can do with a kettle bell and they can be combined along with other routines you are already active with or as a stand alone workout. Here are some of the fundamental abdominal exercises that you can do with your KB.
Russian twists: Probably the most common of all the ab moves, the RT's are a great exercise and are easy to master. Sat on the floor, knees bent slightly and just about leaning back holding the kettle bell by the horns you twist to one side and lightly place the kettle bell down without letting go of the handle; then lifting the KB again passing it over your legs you twist right round to the opposite side and repeat. It's a real mean exercise that also works the biceps and forearms. Make sure you lean back far enough to feel the abs tense before you start.
Overhead sit-ups: Laying absolutely flat forearms extended above your head and holding the bell on the horns, raise the KB up for the sky; then the moment it's directly over your head lift your head and upper spine area of the ground as if performing a regular crunch and hold for a count of 3, slowly move back to the start; repeat.
Half get ups: As the name suggests it's the 1st half of the TGU. Lying on a floor with the bell one side, roll over and take the KB in your hands and press up over head with one arm, then sit up in a single motion keeping the KB straight above your head arm locked constantly, then slowly resume to start position and swap arms and do it again.
These are just a few abdominal exercises that you can include in your kettlebell workout routine, you can do them for a set amount on reps or time. Also you can just do the above for 15 minutes continuous as a full ab workout.
