How kettlebell swings help flatten the belly
Sharing the benefits of sticking to a kettlebell routine, Malaika explains, “If you can stick to 80 kettlebell swings every day, your beer belly will become flatter and flatter.” According to her, this move is especially effective for engaging the core while also boosting overall fat burn.
She adds that side swings can work wonders for the waistline. “If you can stick to 80 kettlebell side swings every day, your love handles will disappear,” Malaika notes, emphasising how rotational movements help tone the obliques.
Which kettlebell moves target legs, arms and shoulders
Lower-body strength is equally important, and Malaika points to deadlifts as a must-do. “If you can stick to 80 kettlebell deadlifts every day, your legs and glutes will become firmer, and you won’t have chafing when you walk,” she shares, highlighting how the exercise improves strength, stability and mobility.
For upper-body toning, Malaika recommends kettlebell pulls. “If you can stick to 80 kettlebell pulls every day, your arms will become tighter and you’ll have beautiful, straight shoulders,” she says, underlining how the move helps improve posture while sculpting the arms and shoulders.
Malaika’s approach focuses on consistency rather than extreme workouts, making kettlebell training an accessible full-body option for those looking to build strength, improve muscle tone and work towards a flatter belly over time.
