Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Kettlebell Russian Twist.
The kettlebell Russian twist is a seated rotational exercise that challenges the obliques and deep core muscles through full-range trunk rotation with added load. Elevating the feet increases the demand on the hip flexors and core stability.
The Kettlebell Russian Twist is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
