Starting Position: Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart. Hold a kettlebell by the handle with your right hand, palm facing in. Bend your knees and squat down like you are going to sit on a chair, resting the kettlebell on the ground between your feet. Hang your other arm straight down at your side.

When passing your shoulder, loosen your grip slightly on the kettlebell, allowing it to swing behind your hand, then tighten your grip.

  3. 3 Repeat this exercise until you have completed all repetitions for the set, then switch sides and repeat.
