1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and back straight.
2. Hold a kettlebell with both hands in front of your thighs, palms facing you.
3. Lift the kettlebell upward leading with your elbows and keeping the kettlebell close to your body.
4. Raise the kettlebell to chest height, ensuring that your elbows reach a point higher than your forearm.
5. Pause briefly at the top of the movement, with your shoulders and traps engaged.
6. Lower the kettlebell back down to the starting position in a controlled fashion.
7. Keep your core engaged and back straight throughout the exercise to prevent swinging or using momentum.
8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Safety Tips: - Avoid lifting the weight too high if it causes discomfort in your shoulders. - Do not use excessive weight that can lead to compromising form or causing injury. - Make sure to warm up properly before performing any weighted exercises.
