How to do it

Exhale sharply as you press each kettlebell to full overhead extension.

  1. 1

    Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in each hand at shoulder height.

  2. 2

    Press one kettlebell overhead until your arm is fully extended, while keeping the other kettlebell at shoulder height.

  3. 3

    Lower the kettlebell back to the starting position in a controlled manner.

  4. 4

    Alternate the press with the opposite arm.

  5. 5

    Continue alternating for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Engage your core and glutes to maintain a stable base and prevent your body from swaying during the press.
