This single exercise gave me a rock-solid core and improved my heavy lifts

Like many people, I don’t enjoy training my core, I find it a faff and rather tedious. But, it’s something I make time for, because our core is literally the centre of all of our body’s movement; it’s what keeps it stable, balanced and helps us carry out everyday activities.

What I will do though is switch up my exercises regularly, so I don’t get bored. After all, variety is the spice of life! One exercise I’ve been doing for the past two months is a single-arm kettlebell front rack carry (a bit of a mouthful, I know). It’s a brilliant compound exercise that’s, not only transformed my core strength but improved so many areas of my training too. I’ve even hit some new PBs!
