Instructions

1. Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, and place a kettlebell between your feet on the ground.

2. Bend at your hips and knees, squatting down to grasp the kettlebell with one hand (right hand for the example).

3. Keep your back flat and head looking forward, engage your core and lift the kettlebell off the ground by extending your hips and knees.

4. As you lift the kettlebell, rotate your trunk to the opposite side. If you're using your right hand, rotate to the left. Your feet should pivot slightly during the rotation.

5. Stand up completely, and then reverse the motion to lower the kettlebell back to the ground between your feet while rotating your trunk back to the starting position.

6. Repeat all the reps on one side before switching hands and rotating in the opposite direction.

Ensure you are exercising proper form and control to avoid injury and make the most out of this rotational movement. It may also be helpful to have a fitness professional examine your form when attempting this exercise for the first time.
