Why do Kettlebell workouts?

Because kettlebell training forces your core to stabilize against asymmetric loads and rotational forces in ways that isolated ab work never will. A strong, functional core isn’t built through crunches but through resisting movement while generating power from your hips.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Awesome. It works

Is this actually you?

Yes

Awesome

Is that an Apple Watch you got there?

Seems like practicing with an axe would work too... Sudden stops and spins, a lot of horizontal movements and reverses. May be best to use a blunted training axe, but at keast you'll bebin shape when the hordes of (fiat?) zombies breach the wall... LOL πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‚

Haha. Yep. That would work

My plan is to confuse the zombies with my lacknof spell check when typing! Makes for some odd words sometimes... πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Haha. Let me know if it works.

Great concept for strenghtening the core. Asymetric / Rotational work is very underused in todays Gym culture. If you don't have access to kettlebells you can also do a lot of these movements with barbells or dumbells like I did here:
