Build an Iron Core with Kettlebells - with Josh Henkin

It is probably the first thing you feel when you lift kettlebells the first time. The humbling feeling of moving a weight that is often lighter than what you are use to, but the kettlebell seems to hit muscles and areas of your body you just didn’t know existed.

I know that is how I felt after squatting, pressing, swinging, and snatching kettlebells my first time. And given that I wasn’t a novice in strength training, it made for a memorable experience.

You probably remember such an experience yourself. Heck, like me, that experience is probably one of the things that made you fall in love with kettlebells. As you delve into kettlebells deeper and deeper, you start to see the immense value they offer. One of the benefits that gets the most attention, but is neglected at the same time is the idea of core strength.

Understanding how we can optimize kettlebells to address real core function will allow you to bridge science and real-world application.
