This exercise hits core and legs (with a big emphasis on glutes) at the same time. Lunging from an elevated surface means that you can get deeper than you would standing on the floor. The deeper you go the more gluteus maximus takes over the movement.
Balancing the kettle bell above your head engages your core. Glutes are an important part of the core muscle group, so that makes this move 10/10 effectiveness!
