Movement instructions

1
Place a kettlebell on the floor. Place yourself in a pushup position, on your toes with one hand on the ground and one hand holding the kettlebell, with your elbows extended. This will be your starting position.
2
Begin by lowering yourself as low as you can, keeping your back straight.
3
Quickly and forcefully reverse direction, pushing yourself up to the other side of the kettlebell, switching hands as you do so. Continue the movement by descending and repeating the movement back and forth.

Technique guidance

Inhale during the controlled lowering phase and exhale as you press away. Avoid holding your breath unintentionally.

Use a stable setup and a load or resistance you can control through a comfortable range.
Stop if you feel sharp pain, dizziness, or feel unwell.
Keep the swing or lowering path clear and use a secure grip you can maintain throughout the set.
