Here are 5 of my favorite kettlebell movements that develop a core as iron clad as the kettlebell:

1. The Turkish Get-Up

This movement is the king of compound kettlebell exercises. Your core has to stabilize itself while being pulled in every direction. Nothing like it.

2. The Kettlebell Windmill

The windmill works your core in a slow and controlled manner, with an emphasis on the sides of your belly (obliques)

3. The Kettlebell Snatch

The snatch will take your breath away and it works every part of your midsection.

4. The Kettlebell Swing

To do the swing correctly requires a lot of core engagement, particularly at the top of the movement.

5. The Kickstand Deadlift

Deadlifts are excellent for your core, but since it’s hard to deadlift heavy with kettlebells, the kickstand variety does the job.
