    How to Perform

    1. 1

      Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in one hand with an overhand grip.

    2. 2

      Bend your knees slightly and hinge at the hips, lowering the kettlebell between your legs.

    3. 3

      Explosively extend your hips, knees, and ankles, using the momentum to swing the kettlebell up to shoulder height.

    4. 4

      As the kettlebell reaches shoulder height, rotate your wrist and punch your hand straight up, locking out your arm overhead.

    5. 5

      Lower the kettlebell back down to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
