Start with feet shoulder-width apart, kettlebells between your feet.
- 2
Squat down and grip the kettlebells with both hands.
- 3
Explosively extend your hips and knees to swing the kettlebells upward.
- 4
As the kettlebells rise to shoulder height, pull yourself under them.
- 5
Catch the kettlebells overhead with arms fully extended.
- 6
Stand up straight to complete the movement.
- 7
Lower the kettlebells back to the starting position and repeat.

Ensure you generate power from your hips and legs to drive the kettlebells overhead, rather than relying solely on your arm strength.
