- Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart.
Place one kettlebell directly beneath and in between your legs.
Keep your abs tight and back straight as you grab the Kettlebell with one hand. - Now push the Kettlebell backwards, through your legs and grab it with the other hand.
Swing it around to the outside of your other leg, and swing back past through your legs and grab it with the original hand. - Think of dribbling a basketball.
- Sit on the floor with your hands on either side of the Kettlebell, bottoms up.
Bottoms up means that the handle of the Kettlebell is pointed towards the ground.
You're holding the Kettlebell upside down with two hands. - Keep your elbows close to your body and lean back until you feel like your falling backwards.
Twist to the left side, keeping the Kettlebell steady.
Extend as far as you can.
Return to the middle and twist to the right side.
