Instructions
1. Select a kettlebell of appropriate weight. Start with a lighter weight to focus on form before progressing to heavier loads.
2. Clean the kettlebell up to a shoulder position and then press or push press it overhead. Perform this on one side to start.
3. Once the kettlebell is overhead, lock out your elbow and make sure your wrist is straight.
4. Engage your core, squeeze your glutes, and ensure that your ribcage is down to prevent arching your lower back.
5. Begin walking at a steady pace, keeping the kettlebell overhead. Your arm should be close to your ear, and your gaze should be forward.
6. Keep your shoulder packed and scapula engaged to provide stability to the arm and protect the shoulder joint.
7. Walk for a specified distance or time while maintaining good posture and the kettlebell in a stable overhead position before lowering it down safely.
8. Repeat carrying the kettlebell with the opposite arm to ensure balanced development.
It's essential to pay attention to your body during this exercise. If at any point you feel unstable or unable to maintain good form, lower the weight and adjust accordingly.
