If you aren't engaging your core during Kettlebell training you are wasting your time. It's like staying tight during your powerlifting.
Tonights training I added some core finishers even though the entire class involves core training.
W/U Joint Mobility 5 mins
2 Minute sets of the following moves
Double handed heavy bell swing
Alternating swings
Snatches x 2 rounds
Swing/Snatch
Swing Squats
Sumo Squats
Clean & Press
Swing/Clean & Press
Double swinging side rows/Double Highpulls x 2 rounds
Figure 8 Holds with squat
Swing/catch/squat
Half Get/ups 10/10
Planks (until you drop) x 3 rounds
It's amazing how hard planks are for people with no core strength. If you can't plank you need to start. If you have a weak core you are prone to back injuries. Work on your weaknesses. Every single time I train whether it's my powerlifting or my kettlebells I alway train my core. Core is not just abs, core is inner abs, back, lats and hips.
