Try this alternative to the kettle bell row.  Start out by holding the kettle bell with your right hand.  Sit down on the edge of a workout bench with your feet shoulders width apart.  Let the weight fall between your legs.  Squeeze your abs and keep the weight close to the body as you lift it your chest.  Your right elbow will extend to the side when lifting.  Lower the weight towards the floor again and repeat the entire motion for 2 sets of 12 repetitions (on each arm).

Try this variation to the boat pose using a foam roller.  It will improve your core strength very quickly.  Begin by sitting on your glutes on the roller.  The roller should be positioned so that it is perpendicular to your body.  Plant your feet on the floor and lift your arms so that they are lateral to your body.  As you recline, twist your waist to the right, letting your arms follow naturally.  Hold the pose for 15 seconds.  Clench your abs to roll up again.  Now recline again but twist to the left, holding for 15 seconds.  Roll up and rest.  Repeat if necessary.
