Then, set aside 20 minutes to perform this circuit. Pick 2-3 kettlebell ab exercises that fit your skill level and fitness goals.

Workout 1: Kettlebell March

Begin by holding the kettlebell in your right hand with your shoulders down and back. Raise your legs up to hip height and pause before lowering them down again, alternating sides on each rep.

Continue until you’ve reached a set number of reps. Then, switch to your left hand and repeat on the next rep.

Workout 2: Single-handed deadlift

Stand tall with feet shoulder-width apart and a kettlebell held in your right hand. Bend at the waist and pull your shoulder down and back. Engage your core and drive forward from your hips as you propel the weight up into the air, swinging it back down through your legs.

Finish by doing a windmill progression using the same kettlebell to build your shoulder stability and core strength. Place your feet double hip width apart, pointing 45 degrees in one direction. Push your back heel down, pulling the hip out as you raise the front hand up.
