TARGETED KETTLEBELL TRAINING FOR ABS, LEGS & CHEST

Not every session has to work the entire body. If you want to focus on one muscle group, kettlebells can still deliver impressive results. Use these targeted variations to build strength, improve definition, and add variety to your routine

Kettlebell Ab Workout Ideas

When your goal is a stronger core, kettlebells add resistance that challenges your stability and power.

  • Russian Twists – 12–16 reps per side – Seated, lean back slightly, rotate bell side to side, keeping core engaged.
  • Sit-Up with Overhead Press – 8–10 reps – Perform sit-up holding bell, press overhead at top.
  • Plank Pull-Throughs – 8–10 reps per side – From plank, drag bell under body to opposite side without rotating hips.

Kettlebell Leg Workout Staples

Lower-body kettlebell work builds strength, stability, and explosive drive for both the gym and daily life.

  • Sumo Squats – 10–12 reps – Wide stance, toes out, lower bell between legs, push through heels.
  • Reverse Lunges – 8–10 reps per leg – Step back holding bell at chest, drop rear knee toward floor, drive forward to stand.
  • Kettlebell Deadlifts – 10–12 reps – Heavier bell, hinge at hips, engage hamstrings and glutes.

Kettlebell Chest Workout Variations

These pressing and push-up moves target the chest while engaging your core and shoulders.

  • Floor Press – 8–12 reps – Lying on back, press bell from chest to straight arm.
  • Single-Arm Chest Press – 8–10 reps per side – Press one bell at a time, resisting rotation.
  • Push-Up to Row – 6–8 reps per side – Perform push-up, then row one bell to ribcage before switching sides.
