Top 10 Kettlebell Core Exercises

At the recent Perform Better Summit in Los Angeles,
Alwyn Cosgrove hosted a hands on session that was about 'Core" training.
Alwyn talked about the future of Core training being more about Stabilization as opposed to traditional flexion and extension exercises.
This session made me think about Core training with kettlebells.
So here in no particular order I have a top 10 of Kettlebell Core Stabilization exercises.

1. Turkish Get-up

2. Windmills

3. Overhead Squat

4. Walking with one or two bells overhead

5. Walking in the clean position with one or two bells

6. "Walk the Bear" a Steve Maxwell classic. Bear crawl with 2 kettlebells.

7. Suitcase Deadlifts

8. Figure 8 to a hold

9. Standing hot potato

10. Swings
