The key to getting cut abs is to burn fat as well as build muscle. However, typical ab workouts don’t really build muscle as fast as people would like. That is why we are going to add some weight to the situation by using a kettle bell. Kettle bells (KB) have a number of advantages over every other piece of equipment in the gym. However, for the purposes of this article it is enough to say that using a kettle bell you can burn up to 20 calories a minute.

The first exercise is called the get up sit up. To do this exercise you are going to lie on your back on the floor with one KB in each hand. Have someone or something stabilizing your feet as you do this exercise. Press the KB into the air and then do a sit up. Do this as many times as possible.

My favorite ab exercise is called figure 8 with a lift. You will take a single bell and pass it between your legs and then raise it to your chest briefly before passing it through your legs again.

The last exercise is the Russian twist which will work your obliques. Do this exercise by sitting on the ground holding a kettle bell in front of you. Simply twist from one side to the other no more than 45 degrees from your center.

Do these exercises one after the other taking only a short rest in between. They are guaranteed to exhaust you in no time!
