Kettlebell Side Crunch

KETTLEBELL SIDE CRUNCH

The kettlebell side crunch is an ab and lumbar lateral flexor strengthening exercise. Start by standing while holding a weight such as a kettlebell or dumbbell in one hand. Raise your other hand up and place it behind your head. Lean to the side without rotating the spine as far as you can comfortably go without shifting the hips. Then stand up straight and crunch to the opposite side to engage your obliques.
