Begin standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in one hand with a pronated grip. Hinge at the hips to swing the kettlebell back between your legs, then explosively drive your hips forward to swing it up to chest height, switching hands at the top and repeating the movement continuously while maintaining strong posture throughout.
