Alternating Kettlebell Floor Press

1. Start by lying flat on your back on the floor with a kettlebell in each hand. Your legs should be extended out straight.

2. Press one kettlebell up towards the ceiling while keeping the other kettlebell stationary at shoulder level. Avoid locking the elbow at the top of the movement to maintain tension on the shoulder muscles.

3. Lower the kettlebell back to your shoulder in a controlled manner.

4. Alternate and press the opposite kettlebell towards the ceiling, again being cautious not to lock the elbow.

5. Continue to alternate the presses for the desired number of repetitions, making sure to keep your core tight throughout the exercise to support your lower back.

6. Breathe out during the press phase and breathe in as you lower the weight to maintain proper breathing technique.

Safety Tips: Choose a kettlebell weight that allows you to control the movement throughout the entire range of motion. Ensure that the unpressed kettlebell is held securely at shoulder height and does not drift, to prevent injury. Keep your wrists straight and avoid overextending or locking elbows at the top of the press. Engage your core throughout the exercise to prevent any arching in the lower back. If you feel any pain or discomfort during the exercise, stop immediately and consult with a fitness professional for advice.
