Instructions
1. Start by lying flat on your back with your legs extended and a kettlebell in one hand. Hold the kettlebell over your chest with your arm bent, as shown in the first image.
2. Begin the exercise by engaging your core and sitting up, keeping the kettlebell at chest height.
3. As you reach a seated position (as shown in the second image), press the kettlebell directly above your shoulder until your arm is fully extended, as shown in the third and fourth images.
4. Lower the kettlebell back to chest height while maintaining an upright seated position.
5. Slowly roll down to return to the starting position with the kettlebell held above your chest.
6. Repeat this sequence for the recommended number of repetitions.
7. Make sure to perform the exercise with control and avoid using momentum to sit up or press the kettlebell. Engage your core throughout the exercise to protect your lower back.
It's essential to choose a kettlebell weight that allows you to perform the exercise with good form. Remember to warm up before starting your workout and to cool down afterward. If you're new to this exercise or strength training in general, consider asking a fitness professional to show you the correct technique.
