Instructions
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and grab a kettlebell with one hand.
2. Clean the kettlebell to your shoulder by extending through the legs and hips as you pull the kettlebell towards your shoulder, rotating your hand so the palm faces forward.
3. Press the kettlebell overhead by extending the arm upward. Keep your core engaged and avoid arching your back excessively.
4. While keeping your arm extended, lean to the side opposite the arm that is holding the kettlebell to accentuate the exercise’s impact on the lateral aspect of the shoulder.
5. Lower the kettlebell back to the shoulder with control, then to the starting position.
6. Perform the desired number of repetitions with one arm before switching to the other arm.
Points to consider: Keep your movements controlled, especially when lowering the kettlebell. Make sure your core is tightened throughout the exercise to provide stability and protect your spine. Avoid locking the elbows at the top to maintain tension on the shoulder muscles.
