The Russian Kettlebell Twist or Russian Hot Potato is a great exercise to target the muscles of your core.  Give this a try after a set of swings or snatches when your breathing is already rapid and I guarantee you will hate me when your done. 

Points to Remember

  • Lean back until your heals start ot come off the ground.
  • Synchronise your breathing with each passing of the kettlebell from side to side.
  • Keep your glutes and you abs tight.
  • Allow your hips to rotate as you pass the kettlebell back and forth.
  • Perform for high reps or for time.

Yours in Health

Before entering into a fitness routine, especially one that incorporates kettlebells, be sure to consult with your physician or medical professional to be sure you are healthy enough to begin a strength and conditioning regimen.  Be sure to learn the proper way to perform each lift and complete each exercises in strict form employing a spotter when applicable.  In other words, if you hurt yourself, it’s your fault.
