Starting Position
- grasp one dumb- or kettlebell with both hands
- hold the weight by the upper weight plate
- the legs are opened shoulder width
- the feet are turned out a little
- now hold the weight next to one calf
- keep your back straight
Correct Execution
- guide the weight up in a controlled bow until you reach shoulder-height
- hold the arms stretched out
- while you move, turn your upper body
- push your legs through
- try to hold the hip stable
- your sight always follows the weight
- come back to the starting position slowly by doing the movement the other way round
- do not let the weight touch the ground, repeat the motion right away
- repeat the exercise several times also with the other side, this will give you a equable free weights workout and a stable core
