Description

The Figure 8 is a dynamic kettlebell exercise that combines fluid movements with core engagement. This exercise involves passing the kettlebell between your legs in a figure-eight pattern, challenging your coordination and core stability.

To perform the Figure 8, start in a standing position with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold a kettlebell in one hand and swing it behind your legs, passing it to your other hand from the front. Continue this figure-eight pattern, ensuring a smooth and controlled motion.

The Figure 8 primarily targets your core muscles, including the obliques, as well as the muscles in your lower back and legs. It also improves hand-eye coordination and can be used as a warm-up or integrated into a full-body workout.

Choose an appropriate kettlebell weight for your fitness level, as this exercise can be adjusted for both beginners and advanced practitioners. Incorporating the Figure 8 into your routine adds variety to your kettlebell workouts while enhancing your core strength and coordination.
