1. Starting Position:
- Begin in a half-kneeling position, with one knee on the ground and the other foot flat on the floor in front of you.
- Hold a kettlebell with both hands, positioning it at chest level with the base facing your chest.
2. Grip and Posture:
- Ensure your grip is firm, hands on either side of the bell.
- Keep your back straight, core engaged, and look straight ahead.
- Your non-kneeling leg should be at a 90-degree angle at the knee.
3. Movement:
- Brace your core and press the kettlebell overhead.
- Slowly and carefully move the kettlebell around your head in a circular motion, keeping it close to your body.
- Maintain control and focus on engaging your shoulders and core throughout the movement.
4. Return:
- Bring the kettlebell back to the starting position at your chest.
- Repeat the halo movement for a set number of repetitions.
5. Switch Sides:
- After completing the desired reps, switch legs so that the opposite knee is on the ground. Repeat the exercise for the same number of reps on this side.
6. Breathing:
- Inhale as you prepare and exhale as you move the kettlebell around your head.
Tips:
- Start with a lighter kettlebell to master the movement before progressing to heavier weights.
- Focus on smooth and controlled movements to prevent strain.
- Keep your elbows slightly bent as you perform the halo.
