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.

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.
