Kettlebell Russian Twist
The seated twist with a kettlebell gripped by the horns, carried from hip to hip in front of the body.
How to do it
Setup
Seated, knees bent, heels light on the floor, torso leaned back, the bell held by the horns at the chest.
Steps
- Turn the shoulders and carry the bell beside one hip.
- Keep the elbows bent so the bell stays close.
- Turn through the middle to the other hip.
Common mistakes
Bell pulling you on at the end of the turn: slow down and stop on each side. Arms straightening as you tire: keep the bell tucked near the ribs. Knees dropping side to side with the bell: hold them still and pointing up.
Breathing
Exhale on each twist, inhale through the middle.
