How to do one arm kettlebell arnold press

Coach's Tips

This exercise effectively targets the shoulder muscles, using a kettlebell which may present more instability compared to a dumbbell.

Start Position

1. Stand with your feet hip-distance apart, gripping a kettlebell in your right hand with your palm facing inwards.

2. Lift the kettlebell to shoulder height, ensuring your arm stays close to your body and your elbow remains tucked in.

Proper Form

1. Engage your core and retract your shoulder blades, pressing the kettlebell upward with your right arm until it is fully extended.

2. Gradually return the kettlebell to shoulder height.

3. Continue for the desired number of repetitions.

Breathing Technique

1. Breathe in as you lower the kettlebell, breathing out when pressing it upward.

Precautions

1. Keep your core engaged and shoulder blades retracted during the entire movement.

2. Avoid arching your back to prevent injury.

3. Concentrate on your shoulder and arm muscles instead of using momentum.
