Movement instructions

1
Place two kettlebells in front of your feet. Bend your knees slightly and then push your butt out as much as possible as you bend over to get in the starting position.
2
Grab both kettlebells and pull them to your stomach, retracting your shoulder blades and flexing the elbows. Keep your back straight. Lower and repeat.

Technique guidance

Exhale as you draw the resistance toward you and inhale as the arms return under control. Avoid using a breath hold to create momentum.

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.
