5 Kettlebell Workouts For Men To Build Muscle

#5 Russian Twist

The Russian twist is an intermediate-level exercise that targets the entire core with unrivaled precision. Specifically, the unique motion of the exercise activates the obliques with greater accuracy.

Instructions:

Step 1: Sit on the floor and place the legs close to each other. Slightly bend the knees such that the lower body forms an arc with the floor. Secure the kettlebell with both the arms and place it in front of the abdomen.

Step 2: Gradually twist the torso to the right and touch the kettlebell on the floor. For maximum efficiency, maintain the same angle between the upper arms and the lower arms throughout the duration of the exercise.

Step 3: Pause for a second and return to the starting position. Perform the same motion on the other side to complete one rep.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tip: People with lower back problems are advised to exercise caution while performing the Russian twists.
