Kettlebell Single Chest Press

1. Select the appropriate weight of a kettlebell. Begin by sitting on a flat bench with the kettlebell next to you.

2. Carefully lean back on the bench while holding the kettlebell close to your chest, gripping the handle with both hands. Proceed to lie down while securely holding on to the kettlebell.

3. Position the kettlebell so that it's over your shoulder, holding it with one hand wrapped around the handle and the other supporting the weight at the base or side of the kettlebell. If using two kettlebells, perform this step for both arms, ensuring each kettlebell is safely above each shoulder.

4. Plant your feet firmly on the ground and keep your back flat against the bench. Press your shoulders down away from your ears to engage your muscles.

5. Inhale and begin by slowly lowering the kettlebell(s) towards your chest, keeping your elbows at about a 45-degree angle from your body.

6. Lower the kettlebell down until your forearm is approximately parallel to the ground or until your upper arm is slightly below parallel. Be cautious of the unique balance requirements of kettlebells compared to dumbbells or barbells.

7. Exhale and push the kettlebell(s) back up to the starting position by extending your arms fully. Ensure that your wrists remain in a neutral position throughout the movement.

8. Repeat the movement for the desired number of reps and sets.

9. Once complete, carefully bring the kettlebell(s) back to your chest and sit up before setting them down to prevent any injury.

Remember to keep your movements controlled, and focus on maintaining proper form throughout the exercise to maximize safety and effectiveness. Adjust the weight of the kettlebell(s) based on your strength and skill level.
