Instructions:

  • 1Stand upright with a kettlebell in each hand, arms fully extended, and palms facing your torso.
  • 2Keeping your torso stationary, lift the kettlebells to your side until your arms are parallel to the floor.
  • 3Hold the contraction at the top for a second.
  • 4Lower the kettlebells back down to the starting position in a controlled manner.
  • 5Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips:

  • Ensure your back is straight and your core is engaged throughout the exercise.
  • Avoid using your back or twisting your body to lift the weights. The power should come from the shoulders.
  • Don't lift the kettlebells above shoulder height to avoid injury.
  • Exhale as you raise the kettlebells, and inhale as you lower them back down.
