Kettlebell Sit-up Shoulder Press

Video coming soon...

The kettlebell sit-up shoulder press is a dynamic exercise that targets the abs and shoulders.

By holding a kettlebell at the chest during the sit-up, the core muscles are engaged to stabilize the body.

As the sit-up is performed, the kettlebell is pressed overhead, activating the shoulder muscles.

This workout effectively strengthens the abs and shoulders, while also engaging the arms and upper back to a lesser extent.

Start by lying on your back on a mat with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground.
Hold a kettlebell with both hands, palms facing inward, and extend your arms straight up towards the ceiling.
Engage your core muscles and slowly lift your upper body off the ground, curling your torso towards your thighs.
At the top of the sit-up, press the kettlebell overhead, fully extending your arms.
Lower the kettlebell back down to the starting position as you slowly lower your upper body back to the ground.
Repeat the sit-up and shoulder press movement for the desired number of repetitions.
Remember to maintain control throughout the exercise, focusing on engaging your core and using proper form.

Focus on engaging your abs throughout the entire kettlebell Sit-up shoulder press exercise. Imagine pulling your belly button towards your spine, creating a strong core foundation.
As you sit up, exhale forcefully, contracting your abdominal muscles even more. This will help you generate power and stability, allowing you to maintain control during the shoulder press.
Keep your shoulders down and back, away from your ears. This will activate your shoulder muscles and prevent unnecessary tension in your neck and upper back.
When pressing the kettlebell overhead, fully extend your arms, reaching towards the ceiling. This will engage your shoulder muscles and promote better range of motion.
Maintain a slow and controlled tempo throughout the exercise, focusing on quality over quantity. This will ensure that you are effectively engaging your abs and shoulders, rather than relying on momentum.
