Kettlebell Side Bends Overview
Kettlebell side bends exercise the obliques as well as the side muscles of the body. This exercise is frequently incorporated into routines to assist tone and reduce waist circumference. Kettlebell side bends can also strengthen the core and increase stability.
How to Do It?
- Start by taking a tall stance and spreading your feet apart.
- Your right hand should be on your hip while your left hand is holding a kettlebell.
- Bend as far to the side as you can while maintaining a straight back while keeping your core active.
- Repeat on the other side, then go back to your starting position.
- Complete 10–12 repetitions on each side.
Kettlebell Side Bends Tips
- Maintain a strong core throughout the entire exercise.
- Avoid jerky motions by moving gently and under control.
- Keep your back straight and only bend as far as you can.
- Instead of swinging the kettlebell, concentrate on using the side muscles of the body to move.
