Instructions
- Hold one kettlebell with both hands in an overhand grip, feet shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees slightly, push your hips back, hold your chest, and bend your torso until it is parallel to the floor. Let the kettlebell drop between your legs with your arms fully extended.
- Push your hips forward sharply while squeezing your buttocks. Allow the momentum of this movement to lift the kettlebell to shoulder height without relying on the arm muscles. Let the bell go down and repeat the movement.
Tips
- Keep your back straight during the exercise to avoid injury.
- Make sure you completely finish the rep and contract your glutes at the top of the movement.
- Avoid bending forward at the torso. Instead, move by articulating at the hips.
