Get A Flat Stomach With Kettlebell Exercises

Get A Flat Stomach With Kettlebell Exercises


For years fitness “experts” have been telling us to do endless crunches and sit ups to get a flat stomach.

Combine that with the latest low fat diet and hours upon hours of slow boring cardio and - BANG! You Instantly get a flat stomach, right?

So then what is the answer to how to get a flat stomach then? Kettlebell Exercises!

It’s amazing how, if you say something over and over and over again, people - even the most well-informed and educated people - will believe it as the truth.

But as Turbulence Training Kettlebell Revolutionists we know better, right?

So when I get asked, almost on a daily basis, how to lose body fat and get a flat stomach, my answer seems to confuse the “general population”…

1. Perform full-body exercises.

2. Train your abs the way they were meant to be trained (by forcing them to stabilize your torso, not move it or rotate it).

3. Use some form of interval training instead of long boring cardio.

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE OF ALL…

4. Eat REAL, clean food focusing on fruits & vegetables, lean protein and healthy fats limiting grains and refined carbs to a minimum.

That about sums it up in a nutshell and it doesn’t get any simpler than that.

When it comes to training with kettlebells, getting that flat stomach is easy if you follow the rules above.

And one of the best kettlebell exercises to get that flat stomach is the Turkish Get-Up or TGU.

Simply put, TGUs involve you laying on the ground holding a Kettlebell vertical with one arm and then performing a series of movements to get you standing upright.

It sounds simple enough, but rest assured, if you use a heavy enough kettlebell and use proper technique, it’s as hard a kettlebell exercise as they come. And it will challenge you like no other Kettlebell exercise out there.

There are 2 variations on how to perform the TGU. Take a look at the video below and see which variation suits your abilities best.

Remember, we train with kettlebells to simplify our lives and to give us an alternative to going to the gym and wasting the precious time it takes for us to drive, park, change, etc, etc. Time that can be spent doing more meaningful and impactful things - like spending time with our families & friends.

The truth about kettlebell training to get 6 pack abs and a low % body fat is that our results aren’t so much dependant on what we do IN THE GYM, but what we do the other 23.5 hours in the day.

Are we getting enough sleep?

Are we able to handle our stress levels? (Notice how I said, “handle” and not “eliminate” stress. Fact is that stress is a part of life and it’s next to impossible to completely eliminate stress. Learning how to properly handle stress is more realistic.)

Are we eating whole, natural foods?

Don’t get me wrong, exercise plays a vital role in getting lean. After all, it’s still just a matter or calories in vs. calories out - of EAT LESS, MOVE MORE.

But if you’re using Kettlebell exercises and training at least 3 times per week, then, from an exercise standpoint, you’re on the right track to get that flat stomach.

I would liketo thank Chris Lopez of the Turbulence Training Kettlebell Revolution for this article on how the TGU and kettlebell exercises can help us get a flat stomach and lose that extra body fat.

Why a Turbulence Training Kettlebell Training Workout?

I got this question a lot last week, 53 times to be exact, but folks want to know...

"Why are you putting together a Turbulence Training and Kettlebell training workout program?"

And the answer is simple.

I just didn't like what was out there for my Turbulence Training members.

Every program seemed to be competing about how "hard-core" it couldbe...but I don't care how hard it is, I just want it to work and be appropriate for TT readers.

So all those other guys bragging about how their program will make"you sick" and "so sore you'll want to go to the hospital" can keep their programs.

Instead, I decided to certify the first Turbulence Trainer, Chris Lopez, and I went to him for Kettlebell Workouts because I know he has been using them for years with his clients.

So today, I want you to meet Chris Lopez, creator of the TurbulenceTraining Kettlebell Workout Revolution.

Kettlebell Training: Total Body Conditioning

Doing kettlebell exercise workouts are a total body conditioning workout done with a very simple and cost effective tool. In case you didn't know a kettlebell looks like a bowling ball with a handle attached to it.

Kettlebell training goes back many years. The russians are most known for using kettlebells in all of their training in the 1940s, kettlebell exercise workouts became the countries national sport. Whether you're trying to build or tone muscle, increase your metabolism, or burn fat, you should generally incorporate a cardio routine with some form of strength training.

Kettlebells use the whole body as a unit. One movement (swing, clean and press, snatch, squat) engages many muscles (legs, core, upper body), as a results many calories are used up. In short period of time it is possible to burn hundreds of calories. Kettlebell training can be time efficient, incredibly intense and effective (and fun) workout yes I did say fun.

How do women benefit from kettlebell training?


Fat Loss (kettlebells provide intense fat burning workouts)
Strong bones and joints (load-bearing workouts)
Strength without bulk
Endurance and stamina of marathon runners (without the running)
Muscle balance and function (promotes proper body mechanics)
Confidence to handle anything that life throws your way

Kettlebell training allows for superior strength gains without adding big muscle size gains.. Yes, you can have strong lean body and look like a woman. Kettlebell training can help.

One or two kettlebells are all that you need. You can train at home, or go to outdoors and get some fresh air. Kettlebell training is a form of training that will not only improve the appearance of your physique, it will give you strength and mental toughness that you did not know was even possible.

Kettlebell exercise workouts provide an intense full-body workout in an incredibly short period of time. Most workouts finish in less than 30 minutes and leave you drenched with sweat and gasping for air. Most traditional personal "trainers" recommend lengthy cardio and resistance sessions for up to 6 to 8 hours a week. A week's worth of kettlebell exercise workouts equal only a fraction of that and you get much better results.

If you are a woman that want's to lose weight and tighten up your glutes, quads,abs and arms use on a regular basis kettlebell exercise workouts featuring kettlebell ballistic exercises with some low rep kettlebell training strength exercises and you are all set.

The Kettlebell Swing is exactly what it sounds like your swinging a kettlebell from between your legs up to chest height. The kettlebell swing may be the single most effective exercise you can do for total body conditioning.
