How to do it
- With a wide stance, hold a kettlebell with both hands. Allow it to hang at waist level with your arms extended. This will be your starting position.
- Initiate the movement by turning to one side, swinging the kettlebell to head height. Briefly pause at the top of the motion.
- Allow the bell to drop as you rotate to the opposite side, again raising the kettlebell to head height.
- Repeat for the desired amount of repetitions.
