Advanced Stretching Obliques Exercises with Kettlebell

Many people put a lot of focus on working their abs but forget their surrounding neighbors; the oblique muscles. Obliques serve as stabilizers, and are used in almost every physical activity. Exercising your obliques should be a very important part of your workout program. The exercises below will help you work your oblique muscles.

The kettlebell is a cast-iron weight (resembling a cannonball with a handle) used to perform ballistic exercises that combine cardiovascular, strength and flexibility training. Sizes may range from 4 pounds (1.8 kg) to 175 pounds (79 kg). Unlike traditional dumbbells, the kettlebell's center of mass is extended beyond the hand. This facilitates ballistic and swinging movements. Kettlebell exercises build strength and endurance, particularly in the lower back, legs, shoulders and core and also increase grip strength. The basic movements, such as the swing, snatch, and the clean and jerk, engage the entire body in a functional way that mimics real world activities used in military, firefighter, and martial arts training.
