Starting Position: Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, toes pointing forward. Hold a kettlebell by the handle with your right hand with an overhand grip, palm facing the ground. Squat down like you are going to sit in a chair and position the kettlebell between your legs, slightly behind your knees.

  1. 1 Exhale and drive up to a standing position, extending your arm straight out and up so you are holding the kettlebell at shoulder level.
  2. 2 Bring your other arm over and grab the handle with your other hand.
  3. 3 Inhale and squat back down, returning to starting position.
  4. 4 Grab the handle with your right hand again, then repeat this exercise until you have completed all repetitions for the set.
