Kettlebell Figure Eight Sit Ups

OK. This one sounds difficult, and that's because IS a challenging move. But take it slow and watch your form. No matter how many reps you can do (10? 20? 40?), you'll feel the benefit.

• Start on your back with your knees bent. Hold the kettlebell by its horns with your palms facing up. (Your wrists should face each other.) Perform a sit up.


• Once you're upright, take the kettle bell in your right hand, lift you left leg and transfer the kettlebell under it. Then hold in the left hand, lift the right leg and repeat.


• Hold the kettlebell by the horns and return to the starting position.

Way to go Pam and Kathy! Pikes Peak in the background definitely approves.
