Instructions

1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hold a kettlebell in one hand.

2. Reach up and lift the kettlebell overhead with a fully extended arm, palm facing forward.

3. With control, bend just your elbow to lower the kettlebell behind your head until your forearm is at least parallel to the floor.

4. Keep your upper arm stationary, and your core engaged throughout the motion to prevent arching your back.

5. Extend your elbow to raise the kettlebell back to the starting position.

6. Complete the desired number of repetitions before switching to the other arm.

7. Remember to breathe out on the effort when extending the arm and inhale when lowering the weight.

Be sure to maintain good posture throughout the exercise without leaning to one side, and adjust the weight of the kettlebell to match your strength and skill level.
