Kettlebell Clean and Press demonstration gif

Instructions:

  • 1Stand up straight with a kettlebell in each hand, arms fully extended, and feet shoulder-width apart.
  • 2Clean the kettlebells to your shoulders by extending through the legs and hips as you pull the kettlebells towards your shoulders.
  • 3Rotate your wrists as you do this, so that the palms face forward and the kettlebells are resting against the forearm.
  • 4Push upwards, lifting the kettlebells above your head until your arms are fully extended.
  • 5Slowly lower the kettlebells back down to the shoulder position and then down to the starting position.

Tips:

  • Keep your back straight and eyes looking forward during the exercise.
  • Make sure your movements are controlled and fluid, not jerky.
  • Be careful not to lock your elbows at the top of the press.
  • Use your legs and hips, not just your arms, when lifting the kettlebells.
