Transcript

This kettlebell complex is one of the many reasons I still have visible abs as a dad in my 30s. One Kettlebell 15 Minutes AMRAP. Ditch The Crunches. 10 Horizontal Swings. As you drive that bell across your body, hips are generating the power to do so, while your core is resisting rotation and keeping your spine stable. Then move directly into 20 Around The World (Switch Directions Every 5 reps). The change of direction is intentional. Every time you reverse the kettlebell's direction, your obliques and your deep core are having to slow the bell down, stop its momentum, and then send it back the other way. To use an analogy, think of your brakes on a sports car. Everyone wants to go fast, but if your brakes can't slow you down or control that power, you're eventually going to lose control. Most injuries happen when your body can't properly slow down or stabilize a movement. That is what we're training our core to do. You probably haven't done this next exercise so listen carefully. 10 Elbow Uppercuts. Bring the bell into an upright row position, then explosively rotate and drive across your body toward the opposite ear. This explosive movement that lights up your obliques, your shoulders, your upper back, your hips, and your core. It also drives your heart rate through the roof making it an incredible calorie burning movement. Hold that bell tight and focus on your breathing. We're headed into our last six, kneeling wood chops on each side. We're strengthening our obliques through rotation, improving our shoulder stability, and teaching our body to transfer force from one side to the other without losing balance. This is what's missing in most traditional ab workouts. You Just Completed 1 Round. 15 Minutes As Many Rounds As Possible. Comment The Word "Complex" For A Free Week Of Training.
