Workout Summary

Building real core strength requires more than “wanting a six pack this summer,” it requires building lasting strength throughout your entire trunk by hitting it in every plane of motion. Lucky for you that we have you covered with the Core Strength Progression Kettlebell Workout.

Needless to say, the Core Strength Progression Kettlebell Workout goes beyond an aesthetic stomach!

This workout gives you functional core strength through a series of kettelbell exercises. You won’t just get a strong core, you will be hurting from head to toe if you can make  it through its entirety!

The workout begins with an overhead lunge, allowing you to engage your core right from the get go, and every move after that gets progressively more difficult to perform, ending with a kettlebell juggle variation.

Give this pre-summer workout a try if you want a functionally fit six pack, or take on the challenge if you are just looking for a core burner using ballistic kettlebell movements.
