If I wanted to strengthen my core and improve my posture, I’d do this kettlebell workout

A lot of my personal training clients come to me wanting to build core strength, particularly the deskbound workers who spend most of their time in an office chair. A weak core can put extra pressure on the spine, leading to back, hip or knee pain, poor posture and even trouble breathing because the core muscles include the diaphragm.

If you want to build core strength but get bored by doing multiple sets of the same exercise, then you’ll love this no-repeat kettlebell workout created by NASM-certified personal trainer Kaitlin Heaney. It features 13 moves, including unilateral and anti-rotational exercises, which are particularly effective at building core strength and stability.
