Weighted Core Twist

Setup

• Stand in an upright position with feet roughly hip-width apart and knees slightly bent for stability.

• Hold the kettlebell with both hands by the horns or the body of the bell close to your chest.

Movement

• Engage your core muscles by drawing your belly button toward your spine.

• Keeping your hips and feet facing forward, slowly rotate your torso to one side, moving from the thoracic spine.

• Ensure the movement comes from your obliques and core, not by swinging the arms or letting the hips follow.

• Pause briefly at the end of the range of motion while maintaining tension.

• Return to the center in a controlled manner, then rotate to the opposite side.

• Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.
