General And Specifics
- it is a great warm-up kettlebell exercise
- here, especially the core is required, because it keeps the body upright and keeps you from swinging
- additionally, the flexibility of the shoulders is improved
Starting Position
- grasp a kettlebell
- encompass the horns with both hands
- your feet are shoulder-wide away
- posture is upright
- knees slightly bent
Correct Execution
- brace your core
- choose a direction, then let the weight rotate around your body in a wide bow
- if you choose to rotate to the right side, the left hand unhands the weight in front of your body
- give it over into the left hand behind your back and encompass the horn at its side again- this eases up the delivery
- go on rotating, until the weight is in front of your body again
- always hold the kettlebell with tight grip, to that it cannot slip away to the side
- do several rotations
- switch direction after one set (about 45-90 seconds) and do the same number of reps
