How to perform

  1. 1

    With a wide stance, hold a kettlebell with both hands. Allow it to hang at waist level with your arms extended. This will be your starting position.

  2. 2

    Initiate the movement by turning to one side, swinging the kettlebell to head height. Briefly pause at the top of the motion.

  3. 3

    Allow the bell to drop as you rotate to the opposite side, again raising the kettlebell to head height.

  4. 4

    Repeat for the desired amount of repetitions.

Important tips

  • Brace your torso so your lower back stays neutral.

  • Move through the shoulder joint — never momentum.

  • Control the weight on the way down as much as up.
