Correct technique

  1. 1Hold the kettlebell by the horns, bottom up, at your chest.
  2. 2Circle it closely around your head.
  3. 3Keep your torso firm.
  4. 4Switch direction.
Breathing: Exhale on the effort (lifting, pressing, pulling), inhale as you release.

Common mistakes

  • ✕Big arc far from your head.
  • ✕Leaning back.

Caution if you have pain

If you have pain in your shoulders, choose a gentler variation. In your custom plan we leave it out completely in that case.
