Instructions:
- 1Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding the kettlebell in one hand
- 2Begin the swing by hinging at your hips and swinging backward
- 3As the kettlebell swings forward, explosively thrust your hips forward and stand tall
- 4At the top of the swing, pull the kettlebell towards your body and then 'punch' upward to extend your arm, ending the snatch with the kettlebell overhead
- 5Lower down carefully following the same path in reverse to bring the kettlebell back to the start position and prepare for the next rep
Tips:
- Distribute your weight equally on both feet
- Make sure your core is engaged throughout the exercise to maintain balance
- Don't use your arm strength to swing up the kettlebell, the power should come from your hips and hamstrings
- Remember to 'punch' upward in the snatch phase to avoid hitting your forearm with the kettlebell
