Man doing kettlebell ab workout.

We’ve got three seated ab exercises to strengthen your core and hips using one kettlebell. You don’t need the best gym machines for building abs to do the workout, just a medium to heavy weight and your exercise mat.

Kettlebells are effective conditioning tools for building muscle and strength in your upper and lower body and core, and as long as you learn how to hold a kettlebell properly and keep your form tight, bells are endlessly fun to work with.
