Coach's Tips

Grab the kettlebell with one hand and swing it forward from between your legs.

Start Position

1. Position your feet slightly wider than your hips, with toes pointing slightly outward.

2. Grasp the kettlebell in your right hand using an overhand grip, arm extended in front of you.

3. Maintain a flat back, engage your core, and keep your chest elevated.

Proper Form

1. Start by pushing your hips back while bending your knees.

2. As you reach the bottom, let your arms move back between your legs.

3. As your arms reach behind your legs, drive your hips forward powerfully to swing the kettlebell upwards in front of you.

4. When the kettlebell is at its highest point, extend your arm and let the kettlebell float in front of you.

5. Keep control as the kettlebell swings back down between your legs.
