Instructions:

  • 1Begin by lying on your back on a mat with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Hold a kettlebell in your right hand at chest level.
  • 2While keeping your arm straight, use your abs to sit up and at the same time press the kettlebell to the ceiling.
  • 3Hold this position briefly before lowering yourself back down in a controlled manner, bringing the kettlebell back to chest level.
  • 4Repeat the movement with the other arm holding the kettlebell.
  • 5Perform the desired number of repetitions on each side.

Tips:

  • Keep your arm straight and perpendicular to the floor while pressing up the kettlebell.
  • Exhale as you sit up and press the kettlebell, inhale as you lower yourself back down.
  • Make sure to keep your abs engaged throughout the motion to protect your lower back.
  • Avoid using too heavy kettlebell at the start, opt for lighter one and increase the weight gradually.
