If you don’t have a kettlebell, use a dumbbell or a small dog. Sit Ups are a tried and true exercise – gives you core strength and helps stabilize the supportive muscles around your spine when done correctly. If you haven’t done sit ups in a while, just do regular Sit Ups, without holding a weight.
- Start sitting up, holding the kettlebell with two hands, letting it rest against your chest
- Lay down, keeping your back straight and maintaining a healthy curve in your lower back. Bring the kettlebell down with you as you lay flat
- Keep both hands on the kettlebell as you sit back up, keeping your core muscles flexed
- Come to a fully upright position where you started
