Kettlebell Clean

Exercise Steps

1. Start with the kettlebell between your feet.

2. Bend your knees to reach down and grip the handle of the kettlebell with your right hand, your thumb pointing behind you.

3. Bring the kettlebell up with an upward thrust of your hips, letting the momentum move your arm up to your shoulder.

4. The kettlebell should end in the “rack” position: resting on the forearm, which is tucked close to the body, the fist at your chest.
