Kettlebell exercises are perfect for improving core strength and enhancing the strength and flexibility of all related muscles extending outward to the extremities. The reason for this is the fact that the shape and movement of the kettlebell at the end of your arm/s keeps you off balance and more muscles are required to stabilize your body. Since the kettlebell is not stationary in your hands, it adds to the dynamics of each movement, forcing your muscles to compensate for the changing center of gravity.
Unlike most other weight training activities which isolate muscle groups, kettlebell workouts require the cooperative coordination of all the core muscles as well as those in the shoulders and back. You can control the intensity of the workout for losing weight or maintaining a good level of fitness all while conditioning and toning your core.
