Instructions
1. Start by sitting on the floor with your legs extended in front of you or in a comfortable seated position that provides stability.
2. Grab a kettlebell with one hand and clean it to your shoulder, so the kettlebell rests on the outside of your wrist with your palm facing forward.
3. Engage your core, keeping your back straight and your chest up.
4. Press the kettlebell overhead by extending your arm, rotating your wrist as you do so that your palm faces forward at the top of the movement.
5. Lock out your elbow at the top and pause briefly, squeezing your shoulder muscles.
6. Slowly lower the kettlebell back to the starting position at your shoulder.
7. Ensure that you perform the movement in a controlled manner, without using momentum to lift the weight.
8. Complete the desired number of repetitions and sets on one arm before switching to the other arm.
Tips: - Make sure you choose a kettlebell that you can press above your head with good form for the desired number of reps. - Keep your wrist straight and strong throughout the exercise to avoid injury. - Avoid arching your back as you press the kettlebell; maintain a strong, stable core. - Breathe out as you press the weight overhead and inhale as you lower it back down.
