Instructions
1. Position yourself: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and grasp a kettlebell with both hands.
2. Get into starting position: Hinge at the hips slightly and bend your knees to get into a semi-squat position.
3. Prepare the kettlebell: Hold the kettlebell in front of your chest with your elbows bent and palms facing each other.
4. Execute the lift: Keeping your core engaged and back flat, extend your arms diagonally above your head, following the path of the kettlebell as shown in the images.
5. Top of the movement: As you press the kettlebell up and away from your body, rotate your arms so that your palms face forward at the top of the movement.
6. Pause and return: Pause briefly at the top, then slowly reverse the motion to lower the kettlebell back to the starting position.
7. Repeat: Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
8. Maintain control: Make sure to maintain control of the kettlebell throughout the exercise and avoid using momentum to lift the weight. Adjust the weight of the kettlebell so that you can perform the exercise with good form while still challenging your muscles.
