    How to Perform

    1. 1

      Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in one hand between your legs.

    2. 2

      Bend your knees slightly and hinge at the hips, lowering the kettlebell towards the ground.

    3. 3

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

    4. 4

      As the kettlebell reaches shoulder height, rotate your hand and punch it straight up overhead, fully extending your arm.

    5. 5

      Lower the kettlebell back down between your legs and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
