How to do it

  1. Stand with feet a little wider than your shoulders, holding a kettlebell in one hand.
  2. Hinge at the hips and swing the kettlebell back between your legs, back straight.
  3. Snap your hips forward so the kettlebell floats up to chest height.
  4. Let it swing back between your legs; finish your reps, then switch sides.

Do all reps on one side, then switch.

Beginner tip: The power comes from your hips, not from lifting with your arm.
