Coaching Cues

Begin by standing with your feet hip-width apart and gripping a kettlebell with one hand using a pronated grip. Hinge at your hips, swing the kettlebell back between your legs, then drive your hips forward powerfully to swing the kettlebell up to chest height, maintaining a neutral spine throughout the movement. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching sides.
