Fitness From the Pro

Kettlebell Exercises and training is a great way to workout.  As you know, I boast about using kettlebells for cardio training and  abdominal training.  Today I’m going to combine kettlebell exercises with abdominal exercises known as reactive abdominal training.   This is a method of training your abdominals to stabilize your torso during athletic movement.

For this particular kettlebell exercise find a partner.  They will stand in front of you as you swing the kettlebell forward.  As you lift the kettlebell to shoulder height, your partner will try and push the kettlebell away from you during the swing.  The whole idea is to keep the kettlebell at your midline or above your belly button.  As you do this exercise , you will have to engage the abdominals for stabilization.    Don’t forget to have your partner stand on both sides.  You can do this exercise as a number of reps or amount of time, 30 seconds on one side, 30 seconds on the other.

Kettlebell exercises constantly prove unique ways to train and certainly add  to muscle confusion.  This is just one of the many reactive type abdominal training that can be done.
