Proper Exercise Technique



Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width and grab the kettlebell by the handle with one hand and stand up. Swing the kettlebell down between your legs and sit back as if you were squatting. Explode your hips forward and the momentum will carry the kettlebell up and forward. I like this one a lot it really works your grip and builds proprioception in the hips and helps your balance. You can also trade off hands whilst in the air which is dangerous challenge but fun if you are outside.
